Newcastle United have congratulated former midfielder Lee Bowyer after he guided Charlton Athletic to promotion to the Championship yesterday.
Patrick Bauer's late, late winner for Charlton consigned Toon rivals Sunderland to another season of League One football, as the Addicks came from 1-0 down to win 2-1 at Wembley in the playoff final.
Bowyer played 98 times for Newcastle from 2003 to 2006, scoring 11 goals in his time on Tyneside.
