Newcastle Live can exclusively reveal that Santa Claus may have been the special ingredient that saw the Newcastle Jets snatch a 2 – 1 victory from Adelaide United last night.
Santa was mingling with players and posing for photos with competition winners during the team lunch today at Lizotte’s Newcastle. He told Newcastle Live that he’s been training with the boys pre and post match.
After noticing he still had his training boots on Santa told Newcastle Live, “I’ve been on the pitch for a few sessions with the boys, yes. But to be honest I’m much better at delivering footballs than I am at kicking them. Ho ho ho ho”.
Last night’s win places the Newcastle Jets in the A-League’s top six!
Winners of our Newcastle Jets / Lizotte’s competition posed with their families and their favoruite Newcastle Jets players as Santa led the celebrations.
