Dan Langley had walked through the gates of Newcastle United's training ground on hundreds of occasions, but this time felt different. The goalkeeper knew he would not be coming back.
"I turned and looked at the badge," he told ChronicleLive. "I wouldn't say I was sad. It was more, 'I've done this for six years. I'm proud of what I have done here. This might be the last time that I'm coming out of these gates, but it's not going to be the last time that I'm playing football.'
"Ever since I remember, it's been Newcastle for me. To have the chance to do what everyone in this area wants to do, I'm honoured to have been able to have done it. Those memories will be with me for the rest of my life."
