Sir Bobby Robson
Around the Academy:

Bobby Robson looks on at a Newcastle United match
Flippin' heck, how many did he just do?
Style - Doubtful

Technique - Dodgy

Originality - How many 70 year-olds could do this?

Don't try it at home - probably best not Bobby

OK, he's not well known for his acrobatics. In fact, he's not known for his acrobatics full stop.

This is a not far off 70-year-old footballing legend we are talking about here.

No-one really expects to see a pensioner doing six backflips finished off with a double somersault, do they?

Well, if Newcastle United finish higher than fourth in the Premiership this season, they could.

For Sir Bobby has promised to do a "LuaLua" if Newcastle finish higher than fourth in the Premiership this season.

Laugh? He probably cried after his side's 4-0 thrashing against West Ham in August, especially with LuaLua grabbing two goals.

But fear not Sir Bobby, our Lomana will be on hand to give you a few tips to get your technique spot on.

Backflipping Geordie pensioners? That'll be the day when Newcastle win the Premiership....
