His Twitter nickname ‘Perchinio’ has been picked up by boss Alan Pardew.

James Perch: “I can’t get away from that nickname now!

“It’s flattering really.

“Who would have thought it a year and a half ago with all the bad times I had at the start of last season?

“I probably wouldn’t have thought something like that would have happened.

"But I’m enjoying it and when you’re beating Liverpool 2-0 and your name is ringing around St James’ Park it’s a good feeling.

"The manager loves it! The players haven’t given me much stick for it . . . Yet!"
