Newcastle United have taken to social media to poke fun at one of their players’ hilarious kit choice.

On TikTok, the NUFC account posted a video shining a light on none other than Matt Ritchie, showing off the footballer’s fresh kit folded and ready to go in the locker room.

The Newcastle star started his career at Portsmouth and has admitted he would like to return one day

However, there’s a punchline.

Next to his kit, in prime position, are a pair of personalised shin pads which Geordie fans will love.

Sausage roll shin pads, to be exact.

After panning over the 34-year-old’s kit, the camera then comedically zooms in on the North East-themed guards with the caption: ‘Matt Ritchie- a man of culture.’

Some fans, however, were disappointed that the sausage rolls were obviously not from Greggs.

Made by a Spanish company, it’s highly likely the delicious protectors were a gift from one of his teammates. What do you reckon, does Javier Manquillo love a novelty present?
