Nick Woltemade has scored nine goals for Newcastle United since joining from Stuttgart last summer

Nick Woltemade had his cap pulled over his eyes as he left the Stadium of Light.

But there was no way the towering Newcastle United forward - all 6ft 6in of him - was going to slip out of the stadium unnoticed.

Not after his own goal settled the Wear-Tyne derby a couple of months ago.

Woltemade's team-mates were booed by the Sunderland supporters gathered outside as they climbed on to the team bus - but Woltemade was applauded, cheered and even serenaded with chants of "Hero! Hero! Hero!" after inadvertently heading Newcastle's bitter rivals to a 1-0 victory back in December.
