It was indeed an incredible day, especially as this was no fluke.

Nick Pope stating; “The fans at Wembley carried us so much, to be able to pay them back in the moment was amazing.”
Saturday was absolutely amazing, such a special moment for fans, players and everybody else associated with NUFC to be able to come together and celebrate.
Hopefully the first of many.
Nick Pope talking to BBC Radio Newcastle during Saturday’s open top bus parade – 29 March 2025:
“You can’t put it into words – it’s unbelievably special.
“The fans at Wembley carried us so much, to be able to pay them back in the moment was amazing.
“On the day we were magnificent and the much better team!
“But, to be here today and see all these faces, you really get to see what it means to everyone in the city.
“I have not got many medals in my career – so I had better look after this one!
“It’s not been out of my sight much yet.
“Two years ago was difficult, I have still got the runners up medal in my locker but it’s been a big motivator for myself.
