Newcastle United success in the FA Cup would be so big to supporters they would need a "national holiday" to celebrate, says keeper Rob Elliot.

"The opportunity to win silverware for Newcastle, you can't imagine what it'd be like," the 29 year old told BBC Newcastle.

"There'd have to be a national holiday for all Geordies.

"For players it's a genuine opportunity, you go through your career and only about 10% of players ever win anything, especially at this level because there are only four trophies up for grabs."
