Geordie Cheers and Greggs Haircuts Before Big Final…
A Newcastle United fan has taken club devotion to a crispy new level by getting a haircut inspired by the much-loved Greggs sausage roll. Yes, you read that right! Matty Nicholls, 29, stunned his barber by requesting a pastry-themed buzzcut ahead of the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool. The bold style decision comes as the Toon Army gears up for the showdown at Wembley on Sunday—no doubt hoping to spice up the age-old rivalry with a touch of flakey humor.
Barber Mich Lange, the man behind the clippers, rose to the challenge at Edits Barbershop. Mich’s clients aren’t just ordinary folks; they’re Newcastle players like Bruno Guimaraes and Kieran Trippier! The result? A Greggs sausage roll peeking out of a paper bag complete with the iconic logo. This hairdo comes with an extra serving of laughs, as Matty prepares to cheer on Newcastle in pursuit of their first major English trophy since 1955.
Scores of bemused fans reacted with puns hotter than a fresh bakery batch. “I’ll be in for my chicken bake on Saturday, mate!” and “Trims looking tasty bruv” were just the appetizers. Even Greggs joined in on the fun, dubbing the masterpiece “Short, Bake and Sides” and setting up a booking link for those brave enough to try it. So, as anticipation rises for that Wembley showdown, fans in the stadium might just spot a tasty hairdo—or several!
