Caption Competition Winner!

We received over 40 submissions for our Habib Beye caption competition and after a long period of deliberation since the deadline on Friday we can finally announce the winner and a selection of entries that came close...

Drum roll please.....

The winner is Mr Daniel Gibson of Staffordshire who summarised the sickly sweet looking strip and the current ownership issue perfectly by providing the following caption:

'Willy Wonka announced as new Newcastle owner.'

Daniel had previously seemed to miss the point by initially submitting the 'bananas in pyjamas' image above as his entry. We were initially unsure about the caption as it doesn't reference Habib nor is it intended to be spoken by Habib. Regardless, Bongo and I thought it was the funniest and our decision is final! You can see if you think we were right or not by reviewing our top 6 featured below.

Our thanks to everyone who entered a caption. An honourable mention to Dean Midas Maynard who submitted 17 captions!. The Newcastle United polo shirt as worn by Habib Beye will be winging it's way to Mr Gibson a.s.a.p.
