Newcastle United hero Steve Watson is pleased to see the Longstaff brothers playing for the club.
Matty and Sean Longstaff, both Newcastle born and bred, are members of Steve Bruce's first-team squad.
"I'm delighted as anybody to see Sean and Matty come through – absolutely thrilled. I know their dad very well through Alan Thompson, and I've met the lads a few times before they made their debuts," he told NUFC.co.uk about the Longstaff brothers.
"Funnily enough, and it's going to sound crazy now talking about this, but before Matty hit the first team when I was at Gateshead I was asking the question of whether coming out on loan and playing some games might be something he's willing to do. And then three or four months later he was scoring at St James' against Manchester United, so I didn't think there was much chance of that happening!
"I'm thrilled, I'm delighted for them both. It must be fantastic for the two lads, the two brothers, who also look like they're just best mates as well, to be wearing that shirt. It's fantastic for them, and I'm delighted."
