Newcastle release emotional footage from Wembley – Tears, passion & Toon heroes

To figure out who specifically deserved to revel in the moment our 70-year trophy drought ended the most would be an impossible task. Such an emotional day. Such an uproar on the final whistle.

You can see what it meant to the squad, starters who came off and unused substitutes, who sprinted off the bench to celebrate with the Lads on the pitch immediately after the final blow of John Brooks whistle at Wembley.

Boyhood Mag Big Dan Burn of Blyth was instrumental as Newcastle broke their curse to lift a trophy after such a long wait. Not only was his opening goal magic, his celebrations were that of a man living out his childhood dreams. 

Sean Longstaff and Kieran Trippier, two blokes who have been considered bit-part by some, embraced in each other’s arms after the final whistle, and the emotional footage below also captures tears in the crowd as 32,000 Mags reacted to a moment thy never thought they’d witness.

Once-written off Joelinton with his trademark roar, Bruno Guimaraes’ teary lap of honour and some brilliant dressing room scenes of celebration in the EFL’s footage in the second clip below.

Get those black-and-white shirts off the clothes horse and prepare to recapture the emotions of Sunday with the Lads expected to be at Town Moor next Saturday.

March 29 will see Eddie Howe and the cup-winning Mags display their well-earned silverware in front of a sea of folk from the City of Newcastle (of which Howe has the keys to) and beyond who support this wonderful football team.

The club are mooted to be taking the trophy to the mass green space near Spital Tongues to show off the cup, as opposed to the expected open bus parade through the city centre, during the international break.

No official announcement has yet been made, but several reports that have come out make it seem like a foregone conclusion. Whether it be in the city, on the Town Moor, or floating in the Tyne, I will see you there Magpies. They can’t take the celebrations away from us.
