Eddie Howe has admitted that ending Newcastle United's trophy drought is a 'huge driver' for him as the Magpies boss looks to one day make history.
Supporters do not need to be reminded that it has been 53 years since Newcastle won the Fairs Cup. You have to go back even further, to 1955, for the last time the club lifted a domestic cup.
However, ahead of Wednesday night's Carabao Cup third-round tie against Crystal Palace, Howe has again made it clear that it is his 'dream' to one day bring silverware back to St James' Park. Newcastle still have a lot of work to do, of course, to realise that ambition but rather than viewing the club's long wait for success as a 'burden', Howe feels it has given his side the chance to 'create some of our own history'.
