Welsh star Gary Speed has signed a one year extension to his Newcastle deal, and will be a Magpie until the Summer of 2004.

Some fans believed the Welsh skippers time was up this summer, with a host of Premier and Nationwide Clubs ready to take him away.

Newcastle boss Bobby Robson is over the moon with the deal and says...

"I am delighted for Gary. He has been absolutely massive for me at this club and his influence on the team through his personality and playing ability cannot be underestimated."

The likes of Speed and Shearer are becoming even more important as the young and vibrant Toon squad develops. Their experiance and attitude to the game will help develop the next generation.
