Newcastle fans dazzled by Steur debut, shouting 'Zie Guimarães'
Today at 14:12, Sean Steur made a huge impression on Newcastle United fans during his first match for The Magpies. The 18‑year‑old Dutchman debuted against Gateshead and instantly won over the crowd, prompting chants of ‘Zie Guimarães’ as they flooded social media with praise.
Within just half an hour, United-fans buried the youngster under a wave of compliments, and Newcastle-fans echoed the sentiment across X. The rapid outpouring highlighted how quickly the 18‑year‑old Nederlander captured the imagination of the supporters.
The Magpies staged a friendly Tegen Gateshead, a club that competes in the National League – the fifth tier of England (Engeland). The match provided a low‑key setting for Steur to showcase his abilities against a seasoned National League side.
Steur arrived at the Premier League club for a fee exceeding twenty million euros, a significant investment that appears to be paying off. The Dutchman’s pace and flair on the wing have already been praised by the coaching staff and the crowd alike.
Social media lit up with fan reactions, one of which read: "Zie vleugjes Guimarães' – the wings are here!" The quote encapsulated the excitement surrounding the debut and underscored the immediate impact the young player has had on the Magpies’ fanbase.
