9 Reasons Why Charlie Austin Should Sign For Newcastle

2. He'll Have The Opportunity To Become A Hero And Follow In The Footsteps Of Other Toon Greats

Jackie Milburn. Hughie Gallacher. Andy Cole. Peter Beardsley. Alan Shearer. Whenever those names are mentioned by a Newcastle United supporter, you can see a glint in their eye, a smile rising across their face, joy streaming throughout the entirety of their body. These are just a few of the Toon heroes - the crème de la crème of striking talent to pull on a black-and-white-striped shirt down the years. Charlie Austin can join that list if he moves to St James' Park. Yes he will be adored by Chelsea supporters, but not in the way he could be at a club like Newcastle if he fires them up the table. If Austin wants a place in folklore, he should look no further than Newcastle United.
