Spoke to Tim Krul about his own remarkable World Cup story, from the 2014 finals in Brazil, for this month’s @FourFourTwo.
He also reflects on his time at Newcastle United, the injury which prematurely ended his career at the club, & his only ‘regret’.
It's on sale now.

Kieran Trippier was the first genuinely world-class player to sign for Newcastle United in a long time.
What’s more, he took a pay cut, and joined in a relegation battle.
He believed, others followed.
Arguably one of the club’s most consequential signings of the PL era.

Thank you, Tripps 🖤🤍
After four and a half years of incredible service to Newcastle United, we can confirm that Kieran Trippier will leave the club this summer when his contract expires.
Kieran arrived in January 2022 with the club in the relegation zone and played a crucial role as he went on to lift the club’s first domestic trophy in 70 years.

Dug out these photos from Newcastle United's last visit to Barcelona in 2002, remembered for a 24-hour postponement and a Shola Ameobi goal.
By the time I returned three years ago, the Nou Camp’s upper tier, where the away fans had been sat, was mostly gone.
Who was there?

Seen and reported on some big Newcastle United wins against Man Utd over the years at SJP.
That’s up there with the best of them.
Extraordinary performance capped with an extraordinary goal.

Unbelievable decision.
Newcastle were denied a penalty as Lucas Digne appeared to commit a handball offence in the box ❌

It’s hard to overstate the job Jamaal Lascelles did in his early years as Newcastle United captain.
We were expecting a big name to get the armband following relegation, but Rafa Benitez went for a big character.
He was just 22 at the time.

12 years. 253 appearances. A leader on and off the pitch. 🥹
We can confirm that Jamaal Lascelles has completed a permanent switch to Leicester City.

One of the first things Eddie Howe did after taking over at Newcastle United was to bring in Fabian Schar from the cold (he'd tried to sign him for Bournemouth), and the last thing he needed was him to suffer a long-term injury.
Thankfully no break, but still a big blow.

Eddie Howe on Fabian Schär:
"Hopefully not too bad, or maybe not as bad as it initially looked. He’s got an injury there but no break, it is ligament damage. He is seeing a specialist in the next coming days to get a definitive answer but maybe more positive than the initial assessment. Losing Fabian is a huge blow."

'You have to actually be there to get the feeling about the support they have, and the whole club. It is something special.'
