Southampton No1 Forster: I was Newcastle season ticket holder

Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster won't have a bad word said against Newcastle United.

Forster kept a clean sheet against his old club on Saturday as Saints won 4-0.

Forster said: "I used to have a season ticket and I'd go and watch them play all the time.

"Newcastle took me on - I was 17 when they signed me - but they really helped me to progress. They were a fantastic club to be at when I was young.

"They gave me an opportunity to improve and they also gave me a way into the game. I'm thankful for what Newcastle did for me."
