Winter in Gateshead

Congratulations to Telegraph journalist Henry Winter, who completed a quick swim across the Tyne on Saturday in aid of the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.

Having previously expressed doubts that Jabba would back the Silver Fox over the long haul, Winter was left with no choice but to honour his bet and swim the Tyne after the announcement of the Silver Fox’s new eight-year contract.

Winter crossed the river in under five minutes and was warmly greeted by an NUFC towel courtesy of the club.

Anyone wishing to donate money in support of the swim can still do so here.
