Newcastle United boss Sir Bobby Robson had said that transfer-listed Nikos Dabizas still has a future at the club. The Greek defender has not been forgotten, and could well make the first team in the coming weeks.

"Losing Woody is a blow but we have Titus [Bramble], Andy [O'Brien] and young Steve Caldwell champing at the bit - and people should not forget that we still have Nikos Dabizas," said Robson.

Dabizas said: "It's good to know that I haven't been forgotten despite everything that has happened to me over the past few months.

"The manager hasn't spoken to me about his plans but it looks like I'm not finished at Newcastle just yet.

"If the chance to play first team football comes along again, then of course I'll take it. That's the only reason I'm here and I've never given up hope."
