Newcastle United invite One Direction to training session

Newcastle United mingled with members from British boyband One Direction during one of their training sessions this week.

Four of the band's singers - Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson - headed to the Magpies' training centre in Benton without fellow member Zayn Malik.

The former X Factor singers donned Newcastle kits for a match against manager Alan Pardew and coaching staff Andy Woodman, Steve Stone, John Carver and Peter Beardsley.

Horan managed to score a penalty, but the singers succumbed to defeat in the one-off match.
