Former England midfielder Paul Gascoigne will once again pull on that famous black and white shirt when he lines up FOR NEWCASTLE UNITED on the 31st July during a pre-season tournament at St James' Park, in which Rangers, Feyenoord and Sporting Lisbon are participating.
He will however, only play 15 minutes of the game against Rangers and nobody knows wether or not he will make an appearance against either Feyenoord or Sporting Lisbon the following day - but Gazza is hoping too.
Gascoigne, who joined Spurs for £2m deal in 1988, said:
"I am absolutely thrilled at being asked to play for Newcastle again.

"I am absolutely thrilled at being asked to play for Newcastle again.
"But I accept that this competition is part of serious pre-season preparations, not only for Newcastle but also for Rangers, Feyenoord and Sporting Lisbon, and I don't want to get in the way.
"Ideally, I would love to play 15 minutes for Newcastle against Rangers and then 15 minutes for Alex McLeish against either Sporting Lisbon or Feyenoord."
