A reunion with his family is helping Eddie Howe see grassroots passion for Newcastle, as Magpies boss admits local youth football has shown him 'how passionate all the kids' are for the Tyneside club

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe is watching even more football this season than he did last after moving his family up to Tyneside, and it has helped him witness just how much passion there is for the high-flying Magpies.

The 44-year-old, who takes his side to Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday, spent his first few months as Newcastle head coach living in a hotel while his wife Vicki and their three young sons stayed on the south coast, where the family had lived during his time in charge at Bournemouth.
