The Geordie Coward Admits His Failings!

We saw very little of Luque, as (like felloe Spaniard Marcelino before him) he spent 90% of his time at Newcastle on the injury list.
And now he explains why.
Luque: "I am very happy to have swapped Newcastle for Ajax.
"I don't have happy memories of my time in the Premier League.
"English football is totally physical and every match is a battle.
"I refuse to play for any English team in the future.
"I decided one fine day to try my luck over there. But I will not go back."
When he signed for Newcastle he admitted he didn't really want to play for Newcastle, but added: "The chairman (Freddy Shepherd) offered me money I could not refuse."
