A Newcastle United supporter has taken his fandom to new heights by getting a haircut inspired by a Greggs sausage roll ahead of the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool.

Matty Nicholls, 29, surprised his barber with the unusual request to have the iconic bakery item shaved into the back of his head in anticipation of the big match at Wembley on Sunday.

The beloved bakery chain Greggs is headquartered in Newcastle and opened its first shop in the city.



Barber Mich Lange, who often styles the hair of Newcastle United players including Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton and Kieran Trippier, took on the challenge at Edits Barbershop in Newcastle.

One fan couldn't resist poking fun, posting: "Short back and sausage roll." Echoing the mood, another quipped: "Trims looking tasty bruv." And laughter ensued as a third said: "This can't be real."
