Newcastle United stars Kieran Trippier had a cheeky message for Sunderland after heading to see Sam Fender in action on Tuesday night, with teammate Dan Burn also spotted in the crowd.
With tickets for both of Sam’s shows at the Utilita Arena like gold dust, fans were flocking to social media with hours to go in the hope of getting their hands on a last minute pair. And two people lucky enough to be in the capacity Sam Fender crowd on Tuesday night were United players Kieran and Dan.
Kieran hasn’t long returned from Dubai, having been ruled out of Eddie Howe’s side for weeks now, due to injury. The England international took to Twitter after leaving the arena to post a video of Sam performing encore track Hypersonic Missiles, the title of his first of two number 1 albums.
