Shola's Bond With Sir Bobby

Shola Ameobi says: "I take Sir Bobby Robson everywhere with me, he is what made me."

Newcastle take on Metalist Kharkiv in the Ukraine on Thursday night and Shola hopes United win for Sir Bobby's memory.

Shola Ameobi: “Listen, I take him everywhere with me. He’s what made me who I am today.

“He encapsulates everything football means to me.

“His enthusiasm for the game was imparted on me, and he’d have loved that, going over there and proving a point.

"Hopefully, we can do that as a team.”
