Ginola, who spent seven years of his playing career in England, took up the role earlier this year. He spent two season at Newcastle between 1995/97, making 75 appearances, scoring 7 goals. David Ginola: "Everywhere you go people talk about the Premier League and people are really passionate about the game. It’s easy to talk about English football everywhere you go because people know a lot about it. "I think because I played here for seven years in the country I know English football very well. Football means so much in this city. "When I played for Newcastle United I realised I didn’t play for myself you play for everyone. It would be a great thing for the people of Newcastle."
