Long-serving Newcastle keeper Steve Harper plays his final game for the club against Arsenal this afternoon.

The St James’ Park crowd marked the occasion with a minute’s applause and chanting for Harper in the 37th minute in recognition of Harper’s squad number. The veteran goalie was clearly moved by the tribute and was seen crying.

Fortunately, Arsenal didn’t mount any significant attacks during the 37th minute!
