The 29-year-old took his love for the Toon to a whole new level by getting the beloved bakery’s most iconic product shaved into his head.

Greggs has its HQ in Newcastle and the first bakery was in the city. Mich Lange took on the challenge to cut Matty’s hair at edits barbershop in Newcastle.

The barber often cuts the hair for Newcastle United stars including Bruno Guimarães, Joelinton and Kieran Trippier.

Matty, from Ashington, Northumberland, has been going to Newcastle matches since he was a kid and is now a season ticket holder attending every match with his 11-year-old daughter.

The 29-year-old will be sporting his new look as his team takes on Liverpool at Wembley, looking to end their major English trophy drought since 1955, as reported by NeedToKnow.
