One of United's forgotten men, Wayne Quinn, returned to former club Sheffield United on loan this week. Quinn will be hoping to kick-start his career at Sheff. United, with first-team football on Tyneside looking a distant memory at present.

The left-back has rarely featured for Newcastle over the last year, struggling to even make the bench most the time.

Earlier in the season Quinn turned down a return to Sheffield but in the colours blue of white of Wednesday, vowing to fight for a place in Newcastle's team.

However, the 25 year old just couldn't resist first team football this time and with Sheff United flying high in the 1st Division, Quinn could well want to make the move permenant.
