Amanda Staveley became the unlikely toast of the Middle East and one of the most powerful people in English professional football.
In the aftermath of Newcastle United’s 3-1 victory over Everton at St James’ Park in February 2022, footage emerged of co-owner Amanda Staveley awkwardly attempting a hand-shake with a Newcastle fan.
As Staveley offered her hand, the supporter went for a fist bump so she copied him, just as the fan alternated to a handshake. They tried one more time before giving up altogether.
