An under 8's football tournament was visited by an unexpected guest, when a Newcastle United star arrived at North Shields AFC last night.
Winger Allan Saint-Maximin was the special attraction at the event, which was organised by Puma. He took photos with fans in the clubhouse, and even joined in with a training session that the children were thrilled at.
North Shields AFC have other links to the current Newcastle United squad, with midfielder Sean Longstaff, and his brother Matty Longstaff, having played for the club when they were younger.
