Witnessing a Geordie playing for Newcastle United is something every Toon fan loves to see, and while it hasn’t happened too often, there’s particular interest in Elliot Anderson.
The 19-year-old has been on loan at Bristol Rovers since January and impressed after scoring seven goals. That included the all-important seventh against Scunthorpe on the final weekend of the season - a goal that sent the Gas up to League One.
Anderson is held in high regard by the Newcastle management, so when on Sunday thousands of people got a notification from Twitter saying he had been sold to Rovers, it caught many by surprise. Of course, the tweet turned out to be from a fake account but for a brief moment, thousands of people were tricked into thinking the club had sold the player many hope can be the next Geordie star.
