Imagine being 25 years old and seeing a tweet from when you were 15 suddenly being reposted all over X. I bet you'd be mortified.

Unless you happen to be Newcastle midfielder Sean Longstaff that is, who now has a 10 year old tweet doing the rounds once again.

In March 2013 a then 15-year-old Sean Longstaff was a ball boy as Newcastle took on Anzi in the UEFA Europa League round of 16 at St James' Park.

It was a match that was eventually won by Newcastle as Papiss Cisse bagged a goal four minutes into added-on time in the second half.

As the players celebrated what would surely be the winning goal, little did they know they'd just ran past a future Newcastle United Champions League goal scorer.

Now just ten years later and Longstaff has been seen celebrating at St James' Park after putting one past Paris Saint-Germain in a 4-1 Champions League win.

It's no doubt that fans have been bringing that old post to people's attention, especially given how close Longstaff came to leaving Newcastle under Steve Bruce.

It just shows how much things can change if you work hard.
