Gareth Southgate was a guest at Newcastle United's training ground this week as the England boss paid a visit to the north east. The Three Lions chief was also in attendance at a St Oswald's event on Thursday evening to raise vital funds for the Gosforth-based hospice.
The sold out evening was planned by Newcastle assistant Graeme Jones and his wife Debbie, both of whom became ambassadors for the hospice in 2021 to give back for the care shown to Jones' mother Rita, who passed away after a battle with cancer back in 1991.
Jones, who has a long-time friendship with Southgate, pulled some strings to get his good friend on Tyneside for the event. There was also time for Southgate to pop to the Newcastle's Benton base during his trip.
