An inspirational youngster visited Newcastle's training ground on Thursday to be reunited with the man who helped him take his first steps: Magpies midfielder Cheick Tiote.

Soldier Craig Heneghan had never seen his son, Kian, walk until the seven-year-old - who suffers from Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome which causes delayed growth and development, intellectual disability and seizures - was invited to be the Magpies' mascot for November's home game against Liverpool.

It was then, on the St. James' Park pitch before the 2-2 draw, that stand-in captain Tiote took the boy from his father's arms and helped him stride onto the turf as proud Craig and his wife, Madeline, watched open-mouthed.

As the emotional moment unfolded, Craig - from Tynemouth - took a picture on his mobile phone then, several weeks later, sent the photograph to Tiote.

The Ivorian was keen to meet the boy again and so the Club welcomed him and his father, recently back from a tour of Afghanistan, to the Club's Benton HQ where Kian amazed everyone with his progress as he met Alan Pardew and the players before being presented with a signed print.

Craig said: "Before that Liverpool game, I'd seen Kian sort of bimbling along on a couple of occasions but I'd never seen him walk properly. I'd been told that I could carry him onto the pitch before kick-off.

"But Cheick came over and said 'I'll look after him' and put his arms around him. Then, with Cheick's help, Kian started taking steps. It was literally the first time I'd seen him walk properly, on the St. James' Park pitch.

"The best moment for me was when he kicked the ball ever so softly and it trickled over the line. The whole Gallowgate end cheered and I'll never forget it.


"I had a lump in my throat; I was really, really proud. Kian was a little star that day and the players - particularly Cheick, Tim Krul, Mike Williamson, Sammy Ameobi and Papiss Cisse - were amazing with him. They really did spend time with him and cared for him.

"Since then, he's progressed so well. I still have to hold his hand but he walks all over the place now. He doesn't like to be in his chair for too long.

"At the next match we went to watch, he started pointing at the pitch wanting to be back on it again!

"He loves going to the matches and to come and to meet Cheick again and watch the team train was fantastic. He's had such a great day."

Tiote added: "It was very good to see Kian again.

"When I saw the photograph, I remembered him straight away and if I was able to help him in any way, that makes me feel very proud."

 

No matter what happens on the pitch, I find it impossible not to like Cheick Tiote

 

I'm glowing warmly but this has increased the notch once more.
Top bloke, Cheick.
Love him to bits.

 

Cheick never lets the club down when it comes to doing his bit with supporters and in the community. He also went and took part in a training session with Newcastle womens and spent a bit of time to help promote the womens game. Top boyo.

 

There have been quite a few stories that have come out of the club in the last few years about this group of players. It's easy to only pay attention to the bad news stories, but it seems there is a core of genuinely decent men in the squad - particularly when you read that they spent time with the kid long after the cameras and public attention had disappeared.

 

Always comes across as a great guy. Gives his all on the pitch - even when he's struggling for form. Interviews well. And does his bit for the community.

 

Perhaps promoting the women's game wasn't the only thing that attracted Cheick to that training session

 

I wasn't going to say that.

He appears to be staring at her mouth thinking, "I'd like to jam my oversized willy in there"

 

I'd be grateful for any of them - even the one in white!

 

Sorry I have just realised what I have done to this heartwarming thread. Going straight to hell.

 

I wouldn't worry, if God ever comes calling here on not606 it'll take him so long to get through TJPF's list of sins that the rest of us will have time to run away!

i like the girl on the far right phwoar

 

I quite like Asian women (too much porn I know). Not sure about the red head for ACS

 

I started off talking about how positive it was for Cheick to be promoting the womens game, now I am making disparaging remarks and treating them like objects to ogle. Shame on me and all of you participating. Perverts one and all.

I really would smash that asian though.

 

ACS would have the fourth one from the right on the back row.

 

What an exhibitionist, could he not wait till he gets her home?

 

I'm sure the manatees goalkeeping lurking behind Cheick would love to take you up on that offer - you'll have to fight Tash for her though
