'HE WAS MY FAVOURITE FOR A LONG TYNE'

Howe knows Wilson could ruin reunion

- BY SEAN MCCORMICK

WHEN Newcastle line up against West Ham at the London Stadium today, they could well come up against a very familiar face.

Callum Wilson spent five seasons at Newcastle and quickly captured the hearts of the Toon Army with his goalscoring exploits.

Wilson joined from Bournemouth during a difficult time for the club under Steve Bruce's management but still scored goals on a consistent basis.

That continued after Eddie Howe became boss in the post-takeover era and there were few players who deserved to be on the pitch more than Wilson when Newcastle finally ended their 70-year domestic trophy drought in the Carabao Cup Final win against Liverpool at Wembley in March.
