Eddie Howe has admitted the emotional rollercoaster ride he has been on in the last few weeks has left him appreciating what he has.

The 47-year-old became the toast of Tyneside when he led the Magpies to their first piece of domestic silverware for 70 years last month, and was feted along with his players during a triumphant parade on his return to the north-east.
