Now this is fandom…
The reputation Newcastle fans have as some of the most passionate in the business is certainly supported by this bit of news.
Andrew Canavan a 35-year-old Newcastle fan who had his right eye removed 20 years ago, wanted to get a new way to show his support for his team so he spent just over £150 quid on an eye with the Newcastle badge where the iris and pupil normally are.
He told the Daily Mail: ‘It took us ages to persuade Newcastle United to allow me to use the emblem because it is a registered trademark.
‘To start with they thought I was taking the mick, but when they realised how sincere I was they said they were happy for me to go ahead.’
It’s certainly a conversation starter…
