United's stars were out in force on Saturday afternoon to meet their youngest fans as the Junior Magpies held their annual Christmas party.

The likes of Demba Ba, Hatem Ben Arfa, Fabricio Coloccini, Papiss Cisse, Steven Taylor and Tim Krul popped along to the Bamburgh Suite at St. James' Park to join in with party games, sign autographs and pose for photos.

And the event was a huge success with not only the first team squad on show, but also a host of fun activities including a shot speed gun, video games, a penalty shoot-out and airbrush tattoos.

The Christmas party was only open to Magpies - our young Members aged under 13. Being a Magpie comes with a range of benefits including a watch, a DVD of Papiss Cisse and Demba Ba's goals and priority access to match tickets.
