Jonjo Shelvey spoke 'from the heart' when the long-serving midfielder addressed his former Newcastle United team-mates for the last time.
Shelvey completed his switch to Nottingham Forest on deadline day following seven years of service at Newcastle. The deal was formally announced on Tuesday night after Shelvey had the chance to bid farewell to supporters, staff and players at St James' Park.
This was clearly something Shelvey was keen to do on a night Newcastle reached their first League Cup final in 47 years. Indeed, after finalising his move at the City Ground in the morning, Shelvey travelled back up the A1 to support the club and say his goodbyes.
