Former Newcastle United midfielder Jonas Gutierrez has shared some images from his time at the club alongside Ryan Taylor via his Twitter account. The 36-year-old, who currently plays his football for CA Banfield in Argentina, joined the Magpies in July 2008 from RCD Mallorca (via Transfermarkt.co.uk).
After a loan spell at Norwich City, Gutierrez eventually signed for Deportivo La Coruna on a free transfer in August 2015. The Argentinian made 205 appearances during his time at St. James’ Park, scoring 12 goals and providing his teammates with 27 assists (via Transfermarkt.co.uk).
Here is how some of the club’s supporters have responded to his post featuring Gutierrez and his ex-teammate.

What do we think?
It’s clear from the above responses that these Newcastle United fans still hold the two players in high regard. Gutierrez overcame testicular cancer and has spoken of the key role the club’s fans played in helping him to remain positive (via Chronicle Live) – demonstrating that the relationship between the Argentinian and the Magpies faithful is a special and unique one.
