Eddie Howe says he has taken to calling his Jason Tindall “Mad Dog” after the Newcastle assistant coach was widely mocked on social media.
Howe’s long-time right-hand man has become a social media sensation in recent weeks after football fans started to notice his touchline antics. Tindall has worked with Howe at Bournemouth, Burnley and Newcastle and is a familiar presence in the technical area on match days.
The 45-year-old is often seen standing alongside Howe barking orders at his players during games and shaking hands with the opposition after the final whistle. For some people, his persona is a bit overbearing, with a Twitter account called “Jason Tindall desperate to be centre of attention” picking up nearly 43,000 followers in a short period of time.
