@SiskJerry Yeah, the significance of the signing can’t be overstated given where the club was at the time, and everything that was achieved in the following seasons.

[Miles Starforth @milesstarforth]

Kieran Trippier was the first genuinely world-class player to sign for Newcastle United in a long time.

What’s more, he took a pay cut, and joined in a relegation battle.

He believed, others followed.

Arguably one of the club’s most consequential signings of the PL era.

Thank you, Tripps 🖤🤍

After four and a half years of incredible service to Newcastle United, we can confirm that Kieran Trippier will leave the club this summer when his contract expires.

Kieran arrived in January 2022 with the club in the relegation zone and played a crucial role as he went on to lift the club’s first domestic trophy in 70 years.

@CraigNE40 And me too!

@Toonbazza Yes, remember heading for an internet cafe myself to book another flight. Felt for those who were herded on to buses after postponement.

[Miles Starforth @milesstarforth]

Dug out these photos from Newcastle United's last visit to Barcelona in 2002, remembered for a 24-hour postponement and a Shola Ameobi goal.
By the time I returned three years ago, the Nou Camp’s upper tier, where the away fans had been sat, was mostly gone.
Who was there?

@Steph_Herdman32 Was still in town when it was postponed, you must’ve got to ground early!

[Miles Starforth @milesstarforth]

@chrisbrady1979 Nightmare. And yeah, the rain was relentless.

[Miles Starforth @milesstarforth]

@Darlo_Robbo @Steph_Herdman32 Ha, an eventual day!

[Miles Starforth @milesstarforth]

@FI_bindex Wow, that’s random! Ended up booking another flight and filing my story in an internet cafe.

[Miles Starforth @milesstarforth]

@Steph_Herdman32 Nightmare! Was doing a colour piece from away end, and reported on what happened with people being bussed to airport from postponed game. It was a big story!

[Miles Starforth @milesstarforth]

@Darlo_Robbo @Steph_Herdman32 On the official trip?

[Miles Starforth @milesstarforth]

@Steph_Herdman32 Did you have to go home after postponement?

[Miles Starforth @milesstarforth]

🏆 One year ago.

@graemedoyle3 Brilliant move, from start to finish!

[Miles Starforth @milesstarforth]

Seen and reported on some big Newcastle United wins against Man Utd over the years at SJP.

That’s up there with the best of them.

Extraordinary performance capped with an extraordinary goal.

WHAT A GOAL FROM WILLIAM OSULA! 😳

@tntsports & @discoveryplusUK

[Miles Starforth @milesstarforth]

@Scottwilsonecho Pushed into offside position!

[Miles Starforth @milesstarforth]

@ChrisHWhiting Yes, not even a marginal call.

[Miles Starforth @milesstarforth]

Unbelievable decision.

[Football on TNT Sports @footballontnt]

Newcastle were denied a penalty as Lucas Digne appeared to commit a handball offence in the box ❌
