Angry Angy tears Toon off a strip

SHE showed Newcastle United the red card when she tore up a beloved Toon top and turned it into a wedding dress.

Now Angy Morton has staged a further protest at her favourite football club, in a new controversial creation.

The football-mad fashion designer, of Newby Bridge, Cumbria, has torn up four treasured tops – last year’s home and away kits as well as this year’s – and turned them into a gown she has called “Chaos”.

Joined by her husband Mike, she defiantly marched to St James’s Park in her billowing gown on Friday to show her contempt for the board at NUFC.

She said: “Something has to be done. We’ve started the new season but things have been total chaos for months.

“This dress is a piece of my heart, which has been ripped out by the board and Mike Ashley . . . just like the way I have ripped up the shirts for the dress.”

Angy hit the headlines last year when she protested at the club’s management crisis by tearing up the kit and transforming it into a King Kev-themed bridal gown.

She told how the dress was made from pure anger and tears and she was determined to show that girls can be just as passionate about their team.
