Newcastle United star Dan Burn says that Toon players have been given some handy hints and tips on high-performance mentalities from club legend Nobby Solano and England cricket legend Steve Harmison.
Howe has been keen to invite some of the biggest names in sport to the club's training ground to share their experiences and chat with players after sessions at Benton. Solano spent time speaking to the club's South American stars Bruno Guimaraes, Miguel Almiron and Joelinton and met the rest of the squad before they were treated to a highlight reel of some of the Peruvian's best moments in a black and white shirt.
For Burn, meeting Solano was a chance to meet one of the legends he watched in Sir Bobby Robson's Champions League line-up. Harmison spoke to players about the high-octane occasions in sport and the intensity levels he used as an England and Durham star to blow away batting line-ups.
