Sammy Ameobi is pinching himself over his sudden first team elevation at Newcastle United.
The young striker has already impressed the Toon Army in action this season.
He told the Sunday Sun: "To be playing for Newcastle United - I can't believe I've got this chance. But this is just the beginning, it's really no more than that.
"I can't believe it but I'm taking nothing for granted, I've got such a long way to go. It's just a start.
"How do I manage to do that? Well my family are a very big help and they're my inspiration really. They keep my feet on the ground and they keep me working hard.
"I'm very thankful to them for the way they've brought me up. It's a very humble way and I'm reaping the benefits, I think, of the way they've helped to bring me up.
"I'm still the boy I was before all of this happened and they tell me I shouldn't let myself change. The thing they tell me is not to let that happen - they wouldn't."
