Sandro Tonali – “Redemption in Black & White”

Caricature by The Toon Army Artist

Straight from the pencil (and the long memory) of The Toon Army Artist comes this triumphant Toon moment — Sandro Tonali, back where he belongs, arms open to the roaring Gallowgate after a goal that meant far more than three points.

Once sidelined by FIFA’s very stern naughty step for a flutter too far, our Italian maestro returns reformed, refreshed and fully adopted by the Geordie faithful. And what better way to say sorry than by smashing one in at St James’ Park and soaking up the love of 52,000 suddenly-forgiving best mates?

Here, Tonali stands facing the Toon Army, shirt number eight blazing, while the crowd erupts in pure black-and-white delirium — fists pumping, scarves flying, and every voice screaming “WE’VE MISSED YOU, LAD!”

Proof that in Newcastle, redemption comes with goals, noise, and unconditional support.

From betting ban… to Toon hero.

Redemption never looked so good in stripes.
