My NUFC - Why I loved elgalgojonas Mr_Dolf NUFC
My Newcastle United – Why I loved Jonas GutierrezHere at The Mag we have introduced a new feature, asking a number of our regular / irregular contributors to write about a past Newcastle United player that they liked / loved for whatever reason, not necessarily the best player they have ever seen.
However, both player and club would peter out horribly after KK’s departure and the subsequent Ashley fallout in a season that ended with a sickening relegation.However, the lasting effect of feeling a bit special came as that Championship season progressed and he showed he had the heart for the battle in a squad that stood up for the club at a dark time. Even added a few goals towards the end of that season.
Following the relegation of 2008/09 the rats deserted the sinking ship, with the Owen situation very well known and the likes of Beye, Bassong and Martins all swiftly deciding the Championship was not for them. I’m thinking everyone will have guessed the final memory and of course it’s Jonas’ final moments in a Newcastle shirt. With a final day relegation decider against West Ham heading our way, his run and shot to make it 2-0 was a cathartic moment to secure safety and complete his recovery arc amid wild scenes.
The promotion of 2009/10 and relative success that followed under Pardew was a big part of this and I’ll always respect those involved. However, some have blotted their copybook with sycophantic pro-Ashley comments but Jonas called the owner out, publicly denouncing him during his recovery and signing off with that defiant on-field gesture that replaces the Spider-Man mask for me as the definitive image of him at Newcastle.
