“Legend” – A lot of Newcastle United fans wish Paul Dummett a happy birthday – as the Geordie defender turns 28.
Dummett was told back when he was 20 that he would never be good enough to play for Newcastle United – yet here we are seven years later, and he has made 163 league appearances for his boyhood club.
In that time, he has captained the club on a few occasions and is now an essential part of this Toon side.
The Welsh international sets an excellent example to all young professionals that hard work and commitment can take you to the top of the game.
Dummett has developed into a solid Premier League defender and is now a fan-favourite.

Paul Dummet is the most improved player at Newcastle over the last 5 seasons.
He’s now an integral part of the team. From nothing to something big.
