Campbell praises 'Butthead' Gayle after Newcastle promotion

The Magpies won promotion back to the Premier League, with one of Dwight Gayle's former team-mates praising his achievement in a mocking online post

Crystal Palace forward Fraizer Campbell has hailed former team-mate Dwight Gayle for winning promotion to the Premier League with Newcastle United but has teased his former strike partner in the process.

Gayle played alongside Campbell at Palace before joining Newcastle, and his 22 goals this season have helped the Magpies return to the top flight of English football.

Campbell shared his delight on Instagram, with the caption "Congrats on your promotion brother well deserved @dwightgayle", but the accompanying picture was less complimentary, comparing the 27-year-old striker to MTV's Butthead from the classic 1990s Beavis and Butthead television show.
