Bruno Guimaraes remains an enigma. As Newcastle United notched their second of four goals in the win over Brighton on Thursday, the Brazilian slid on his knees towards the stands before screaming, inexplicably, what looked to be angry Portuguese profanities towards the Leazes East corner.
But for all the mental matchday antics, there is a softer, gentler side to Newcastle's magic No 39 that his Toon colleagues and family get to see each and every day. Even his aforementioned shirt number was chosen for the sentimental reason that it was the number that donned his father's taxi in their native Brazil.
Whether it be shedding tears after picking up an injury weeks before the Carabao Cup final, or selflessly telling Newcastle fans to lend their vote to Miguel Almiron over himself for a Player of the Month award, or his sheer joy at being able to walk out onto the St James' Park turf with his young son Mateo recently, it's clear to see Bruno is one of football's good guys.
