Obafemi Martins insists everyone at Newcastle is fighting for Joe Kinnear. The Magpies manager is currently recovering from a triple heart bypass operation and is not expected to return to work until April at the earliest.

“The lads talk about Joe all the time and everyone is looking forward to his return,” he told The Sun.”We need to go all out, fight and grind out some good results for him. I am sure there is nothing he wants so badly than a perfect gift on his return from hospital”.

“He’s a good man and someone who is passionate about the club, so he deserves our best wishes”.
