Newcastle fullback Jose Enrique: Villa fans were laughing at us

Newcastle United fullback Jose Enrique admits relegation at Aston Villa remains a burning memory.

In May 2009, Newcastle were knocked clean out at Villa as their relegation nightmare was confirmed on a gut-wrenching final day of the season.

It was a horror moment for Enrique who admitted: "It was a terrible day - the worst day of my football career.

"I saw fans crying and I nearly cried too. The Villa fans were laughing at us and that was hard to take.

"It has been difficult at times. We have not brought in a lot of players but I want to be part of a successful Newcastle and try to take it back to where it was 10 years ago. That's my dream."
