Newcastle 2-2 West Ham: Boyhood Hammers fan Jonjo Shelvey earns point for Magpies as they come from behind twice at St James' Park

Should West Ham end up being relegated, how they will be cursing one of their own.

Jonjo Shelvey was born and raised in Romford as a boyhood Hammers fan. He was at the club as a schoolboy and nearly signed for them last summer.

But the midfielder was the man who scored Newcastle’s third in a 3-2 victory at the London Stadium in December.
