Newcastle United defender José Enrique has heaped praise on the Geordie public's insane brand of loyalty.
Unlike some of the club's departed stars, the Spaniard has pledged to stay and repay the fabulous loyalty of the Toon Army, almost 44,000 of whom packed into St. James' for the last Championship home game against Sheffield Wednesday.
Enrique told The Sunday Sun: "The support at Newcastle is unbelievable. The fans here are incredible, the best in England.
"Would a team in the Spanish Second Division get 44,000 fans for a game? No way.
"There is no chance of a team in the First Division in Spain getting 44,000, except Real Madrid and Barcelona."
He added: "Things at the club were crazy here last season, but I have to think it's not my problem.
"I just have to play, and play well. If all the team think like that and we sign some new players, we can get back to the Premier League."
