Cheick Tioté's Newcastle career in pictures
Cheick Tioté, who tragically died on Monday at the age of 30, joined Newcastle United from FC Twente in August 2010 and spent almost seven years at St. James' Park.
A hard-tackling, combative midfielder, he trained how he played - but off the pitch he was humble and somewhat shy, and rarely seen without a smile on his face.
He'll always be remembered for his stunning goal against Arsenal in February 2011, but he was responsible for many more magic moments, too.
Here, we take a pictorial look through Tioté's time on Tyneside.
