Hammers After Toon Ex-Striker

Last updated : 11 December 2013 By Footy Mad - Editor

... Obafemi Martins, according to The Telegraph.

Martins joined the Magpies in 2006, and scored 28 goals in 88 games.

He left the club when we were relegated, but he claims Newcastle United wanted "the big earners off the books and I was one of them".

The rumours suggested the opposite ... he wouldn't play in the Championship.

He has since moved a few times, including a very brief and relatively unremarkable loan spell at Birmingham in 2011, but is currently enjoying life in the MLS with Seattle Sounders.

A loan move during the American off-season has considerable precedent, with LA Galaxy heroes David Beckham and Landon Donovan both spending time on loan in Europe, as has former Robbie Keane – also currently with LA Galaxy, but who also spent time on loan at West Ham in 2011 while still with Spurs.

The official new title is "Magpies In Europe - Harvey To Pardew" and is an up-dated version of "From Antwerp To Zurich" - which includes the 14 Europa League fixtures we played last season.

Included are stats and the figures you would expect, but also each away fixture has the remarkable experiences of individuals who travelled to watch the matches.  

Introduction by "Big Bad" John McNamee, part of the Fairs Cup winning team of 1969. 

It is a fascinating history that every Newcastle United fan will enjoy.
