Newcastle: Twinned with France.
Or at least that’s what some might say, given the current make-up of the Magpies’ first team squad. However, French players on the Toon are not a new phenomenon, and here we look back at ten former Newcastle stars from across the channel to see how they stack up against the French Connection of today.

Firstly, Euro 2012 right back Mathieu Debuchy finally joined from Lille, and Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa added extra reinforcement to the Newcastle defence following a move from reigning French champions Montpellier.

Will it be Les Miz's abused poor or Lincoln's bewigged politicians for the Hair and Makeup Oscar?
They are:
Hitchcock The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Lincoln Looper Men in Black 3 Les Misérables Snow White and the Huntsman
