Three of Newcastle's finest were dubbed the 'Geordie Mount Rushmore' after posing for a photo after being spotted on lads' night out in the city.
Auf Wiedersehen, Pet actor Jimmy Nail, football icon Alan Shearer and singing superstar Sting all got together.
With their football team flying high and heading for the Champions League, the Magpies fans clearly had lots to talk about.
The actor and Crocodile Shoes singer, 69, sported a sharp new haircut, tweed jacket and trendy scarf.
Jimmy looked very different from his moody, curly-mopped days playing Oz in the hit programme and fans loved his stylish look.

Among the comments was Geordie Shore star and I'm a Celeb...winner Vicky Pattinson, who wrote: "Squad goals!"
Other fans gushed that it was like the "Geordie Mount Rushmore" and the "album cover they all wanted to see".
Sting is one of the city's most famous faces (Mirrorpix)Sting, 70, recently played to a packed out crowd at the Quayside Theatre, to celebrate the venue's 50th anniversary and Jimmy even joined him on stage.
As well as playing Leonard "Oz" Osbourne in the hit comedy/drama Auf Wiedersehn, Pet in the 80s, Jimmy also had a role in Evita and landed the title role in police drama, Spender.
Before hitting the big time, Jimmy, 69, had a somewhat misspent youth. He was expelled from school for setting fire to some curtains and also spent time in prison for fighting at a football match.

Meanwhile, Sting has revealed he has backed the teachers and nurses in their pay dispute with the Tories - describing their treatment as a "disgrace".
Before becoming a pop star, the Every Breath You Take hitmaker was a primary school teacher.

Speaking to The Mirror, Sting said: “Teaching is one of the most important jobs in our society in my view.
“As well as nurses and many of those professions, they need to be paid well and it is a disgrace that they are not.
“I very much support them in their dispute.”
