Young fan relives celebration with Bruno as NUFC win crucial game

A young fan who travels almost 200 miles to see Newcastle United's home games has re-lived the moment when he celebrated the team's winning goal with Brazilian star Bruno Guimaraes.

Fans saw Bruno lift young Alfie Best onto the pitch as team-mate Chris Wood scored the penalty that sealed a crucial win over Wolves. Alfie has told of the thrill of that moment and how he is now hoping to get the Brazilian star's shirt to go with the one-in-a-million moment.

Alfie and his dad Jamie are in the first year as season ticket holders in the Gallowgate. Jamie, 29, has been a fan since he was 10, but the pair live in Birmingham so have been making a mammoth trek for each game this year. Jamie, a firefighter, has been a diehard fan since he was presented with an NUFC top by an uncle who lived in Jesmond during the Sir Bobby Robson era.
