The Newcastle United fan who was caught on camera celebrating a goal by pulling his penis out of his pants has not received a lifetime ban from football, despite social media reports.

A gentleman was caught on TV cameras spinning his private parts in a circle during the FA Cup replay between Oxford United and Newcastle earlier this week.

Police sought to identify the individual and Newcastle were assisting in the enquiries to identify him.

The celebration came after Allan Saint-Maximin scored in stoppage time to send the Toon through to the fifth round of the FA Cup, where they will face off against West Brom.

However, contrary to reports on social media, the fan has not been handed a lifetime ban from football.

Newcastle did confirm, however, that earlier on Thursday they were helping police, who are looking to speak to the individual.

A Newcastle spokesman said on Thursday: “We are aware of footage showing the clearly inappropriate actions of a supporter during the closing stages of Tuesday night’s Emirates FA Cup fourth round replay at Oxford United.

“We have been asked to assist the police in their efforts to identify the supporter in question and we will provide our full support.”

The celebration went viral on social media and even promoted responses from the Newcastle squad themselves.

At the time, Saint-Maximin did not see the incident but after it went viral on Twitter it was only a matter of time.

And the 22-year-old responded with a hilarious gif that had fans in stitches.

One said: "Hahahahaha what a celebration."

"You’re a goat man," another replied.

"This guy," a third said, accompanied with some laughing emojis.
