"A group of players who felt they hadn't succeeded found that, to their fans, they had."

Newcastle United's losing FA Cup final team return crestfallen to the city, only to receive the kind of rapturous reception that most cup winning teams could only dream of. Geordie fans line the streets in their thousands to salute their defeated heroes. The warmth of the welcome from the Toon Army is so overwhelming it reduces Newcastle's goalkeeper Iam McFaul to tears.

The team make their way to St James' Park, to find the stadium full of supporters, eager for the players and manager Joe Harvey to do a lap of honour.

Imagine the scenes if they had won...
