Newcastle United stars are used to signing shirts and footballs but a Jarrow school had an unusual request that the team couldn't turn down.
Children from St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School wrote a letter to Newcastle United asking the players to draw a self-portrait that they could raffle to raise money for the school. The novel idea seemed to be a hit with the squad, with nine players including Allan Saint-Maximin, Dan Burn and Jonjo Shelvey sending in their signed drawings.
Sean Longstaff, Matt Ritchie, Dwight Gayle, Karl Darlow, and Jacob Murphy also took the time to send in a hand-drawn picture to the delight of the children at the school.
