Alan Shearer reflects on the significance of the upcoming Carabao Cup final for Newcastle United, emphasizing the club's 54-year trophy drought. He shares his emotional experiences as a former player and captain, focusing on the passionate support from Newcastle fans, who have remained loyal despite the team's struggles. Shearer expresses hope for a victory and imagines the jubilant reaction of Geordies if they win. Lavishing praise on the city and its people, he underscores football’s importance in their lives as they rally behind the team awaiting a trophy.
The last trophy for Newcastle United was in 1969, the old Fairs Cup, and it’s incredible for a club this size to have waited so long.
If Newcastle were to win this Carabao Cup final, the reaction from the Geordie public would be like nothing I have ever witnessed.
Football in Newcastle is a way of life; from young to old, everyone is seen proudly wearing their black-and-white tops.
Captaining Newcastle in a final hurt, but for Bruno Guimaraes to lift the trophy would be unforgettable for him.
