There is always a hero for the locals to sing about. Ask super fan Mark Knopfler! Sometimes it has been Callum Wilson, then it became goal-a-game Miggy Almiron, and now it is 'Little Joe' Willock.
The Cockney Kid, who came up here to become a star, dismantled Chelsea to take Newcastle into the World Cup break living amid the dizzy heights of the Premier League's top three. Exactly a year ago we were down among the dead men in 19th place having just set an all-time club record for their longest-ever winless start to a season covering 11 matches.
I mean, does it get better than this? I cannot wait to find out. Willock, who first burst among us as a regular net finder when on loan, had dried up in front of goal but now he is back where he belongs.
