The film, directed by Oliver Jennings, features cameos from the Fairs Cup legends, Bob Moncur and Alan Foggon, who reminisce over their triumphant outting in June '69, while Brooke Cochrane (NUFC Women's Club Captain), 6 year old fan Boby and Thai Boxing veteran Barry Norman also star in respective scenes.
PUMA take the new shirt through various landmarks across the city including Townmoor, High-Level Bridge, Tynemouth Pier Lighthouse, and Newcastle Labour Club in a video that brings the supporters to the forefront of the club. These are the people who give this famous old club its DNA, its heritage and its identity as one of English football's most iconic clubs. Players come and go, but the fans are Newcastle United. There's a lot of pride in those black and white stripes.
