Newcastle United supporters plan emotional send-off as club legend set to leave
Kieran Trippier is set to play his final home game for Newcastle United on Sunday.
Newcastle United supporters will honour Kieran Trippier ahead of this weekend’s clash against West Ham United.
The 35-year-old announced last month that he will leave the Magpies when his contract expires at the end of the season. Trippier was the first player to take the leap of faith and join Newcastle following the Saudi-backed takeover.
More than 150 appearances, two Champions League qualifications and a Carabao Cup triumph later and Trippier is set to leave United as a club legend. Replacing his influence in the dressing room and on-field ability will be a tall order for the Toon hierarchy this summer.

Kieran Trippier pens Newcastle United farewell
Trippier revealed that Newcastle is “where he felt most at home" in an emotional address to supporters. He told the club website in April: “The time has come to leave this amazing club after four and a half years. This is where I have felt most at home. It's emotional, and I'm really going to miss it.
“I want to say a massive thank you to the supporters for all the support through the good and the bad times. You've always supported me, always stood by me. To my teammates, it's going to be emotional. It's been an amazing journey with you guys.
“I'm going to miss you all, but to win a trophy with you guys was really, really special - the best of my career. And to the manager, Eddie Howe, all the coaching staff and the team behind the scenes, a massive thank you."
