Toon-Mad Berbatov Heading To Newcastle?
The news from North London claims the Spurs star would love the chance to join his boy-hood idols Newcastle United ... and could do if Jol keeps his job.The Bulgarian ace worshipped Alan Shearer as a youngster, even slept in a Newcastle No 9 shirt.
He said his dream was to walk out on to St James's Park, and when he was dropped for the game, reports from White Hart Lane claim the striker was "gutted"!
Berbatov was bought the Toon shirt as an 18th birthday present by his parents.
His mum Margarita said the Shearer shirt became his prized possession.
She said: "Dimitar wore this shirt all the time. He even used to sleep in his Newcastle shirt! It's that special to him.
"He told me it was his dream to play for Newcastle United one day and wear the same shirt as Alan Shearer.
"Shearer was a major inspiration. He liked the fact that Alan Shearer scored goals but was not a selfish player.
"He thinks this shirt may even have been a sign he was meant to play in England."
With speculation than Manchester City are set to bid for Michael Owen, and rumours claim the England international would consider a move back to the West of the country, Berbatov would be the perfect replacement.
