Newcastle United fan feels 'robbed' after Castore shirt for daughter's birthday fails to arrive two months on

A dad says he "feels robbed" after the Newcastle United shirt he had ordered for his daughter's birthday has still not arrived despite ordering it two months ago.

Derrick Costello said he has paid £70 for a personalised strip for his daughter, Ellie-May Costello, ahead of her 11th birthday this week. The 41-year-old said he thought it was was "brilliant" when he spotted an offer from the NUFC Store offer to get the shirt personalised for free and ordered it on September 30, giving it plenty of time to arrive.

But after forking out £65 for the top and £5 for delivery to his home in Grimsby, Derrick said the shirt, produced by sportswear brand Castore, never arrived.
