Geordie Valentine's Day card compares love to Matt Ritchie's painful corner flag kick

A new Valentine's Day card ranks love even higher than watching Matt Ritchie's famous goal celebration from Newcastle's dramatic win over Chelsea.

The card created by Geordie Gifts could be an ideal Valentine's Day gift to give to a Newcastle fan, or for a Newcastle fan to give to their partner who is tired of hearing in detail about the St James' scenes sparked by Isaac Hayden's late winner , which saw Ritchie volley the corner flag from the pitch into the Milburn stand, where the flag struck one fan where it hurts.

The £2.99 card reads: "Yi kna that feeling when the Toon score a last minute winner & Matt Ritchie boots the corner flag into some poor bloke's b******s...

"...a love yee more than that!"

Geordie Gifts, owned and developed by local lad Craig Finnigan, has become hugely popular thanks to its souvenir items like mugs, keyrings and shopper bags, all branded with Geordie themed slogans.

Craig has created a full Tyneside influenced Valentine's range. Other card slogans include "Yi geet lush as oot" and 'A love yee more than Metro Land'.

You can buy from Geordie Gifts online or at Craig's shop in Newcastle's Grainger Market .
