A young Toon fan who missed out on Wembley tickets has been left "buzzing" after being named as the matchday mascot.
Jimmy Morris was left "gutted" after he and his family missed out on tickets for Sunday's Carabao Cup final clash vs Manchester United. But the youngster's luck soon changed after he found out his dad, Shaun, 35, had won a mascot competition, meaning Jimmy will lead out his footballing idols in front of 90,000 fans at the home of football.
Jimmy, who is a budding footballer himself and plays on the left wing for Rutherford AFC's Swifts side in Gateshead, will be kitted out in a brand new Newcastle strip and will walk out of the Wembley tunnel with Kieran Trippier. On Saturday, Jimmy headed down to London with his dad Shaun, and mam Toni, 30, in preparation for the big day.
