Devoted to the Toon until the very end, Liam Sweeney and John Alder should be among the thousands of Newcastle United fans travelling to Wembley this weekend.
The pair, who lost their lives in the 2014 MH17 plane disaster while following their beloved Toon will forever be remembered as two of the club's most loyal supporters.
And as Liam's dad Barry prepares to make the trip to London for Newcastle's first cup final more than 20 years, he knows what will be a day of celebration will also be tinged with sadness for John and Liam's loved ones.
