Voters on the Tyne Talk website, have made their choice on who they want to become Newcastle's next Capatin and the winner is.... Over the last few weeks Tyne Talk have been carrying out a poll to see who you think should take over the captain’s role, once the great number 9 Alan Shearer decides to call it a day.

After 554 votes, the visitors to Tyne Talk decided the player they wanted become the Magpies new skipper is Jonathan Woodgate after taking almost half the votes (47%). In 2nd place was

Kieron Dyer who picked up 17% of the overall votes, and in 3rd place was Goalkeeper Shay Given with 12%.

Woodgate who has had his troubles over the last few years, came to St James Park with a great big question mark over his name as to if he could put his past behind him and become a success in the north.

Well Woodgate stood up against his doubters and showed then what he can do, by becoming one of the best performers on the pitch for the Magpies towards the end out last season.
