England sporting legend Steve Harmison stood on top of the world after winning the Ashes in 2005 and ending a painful 17-year drought of success for his country.
It was then that Michael Vaughan, Kevin Pietersen and Freddie Flintoff finally saw Australia off and English cricket's day of fate came at the Oval before the country celebrated in style. A different sport maybe but the emotions of elation, delight, euphoria and delirium will be close to that of Harmison's beloved Newcastle United should they end the 54-year wait on Tyneside for a trophy.
This week Dan Burn spoke about a special visit to the training ground involving Nobby Solano and Harmison who were invited by Eddie Howe to talk about their careers and experiences. Harmison was happy to oblige and like every fan he will be praying for black and white success at Wembley this weekend.
