Newcastle news: ‘My first thought was to my dad’

Anth Young from the Total Sport Newcastle United podcast says his first thought was for his dad when the Magpies won the Carabao Cup at Wembley.

He said: “My first thought was to my dad and how he followed this team home and away. I would have loved to give him a kiss and a cuddle and say ‘this is what we’ve done dad’.

“We are such a big city with one club. You grow up supporting Newcastle – you have nothing else. My dad couldn’t afford to take me to games so he took me to reserve games.

“I thought of all of that in that moment. It was a lot to take in and I’m not ashamed to say I absolutely cried when that full-time whistle went.”
