🚨 📺 KIERAN TRIPPIER Exclusive sit-down — we take an extended look-back at his Newcastle United story…
🗣️ “Diego Simeone collared me in the car park as I left. I’ll never forget it. ‘Are you sure you’re making the right decision?’ he asked.
So that was playing through my mind on my way to the airport to sign for Newcastle.
I was swapping the Champions League for a relegation battle! Looking back now though, I have absolutely no regrets.
🗣️ “I’m emotional that I’m leaving, it’s been on my mind for a while. My daughter was born here, this is the longest I’ve been at any football club. I’ve felt most at home here than anywhere else.
🗣️ “I’m going to miss all the lads, the gaffer, and everyone associated with Newcastle.
But I’ll be back, whether that’s as a fan, coaching, or even the manager! Who knows what the future holds?!”
📺 ⏰ Extended interview this morning on Sky Sports News at 10.05am.
