Nick is head of the class for Toon

NICK WOLTEMADE himself an instant hero at Newcastle as he marked his debut with the only goal against Wolves.

- 

The Toon's £69million record buy from Stuttgart stands tall at 6ft 6in but claimed his heading ability is distinctly average.

However, his thumping effort was good enough to beat a Wolves side who missed early chances to shock St James’ Park.

The 23-year-old German said: “I've worked a lot on my heading in the last few weeks and months. With my height, I guess I have to.

“You get more goals if you're good in the air and a header always feels good as a striker.”
