Cheick Tiote was the 'perfect fit' for Newcastle, according to his former manager Chris Hughton. Tiote, who spent seven years with Newcastle, has died aged 30 after collapsing during a training session with his club Beijing Enterprises in China. Hughton says: "The thing that struck me was how humble he was. It was such a big thing for him to sign for Newcastle." Hughton added people respected him because "he just got on with the job" and "I remember speaking to Steve McClaren before we took him and Steve spoke very, very fondly about him, not only as a footballer but as a person and a person that wouldn't let you down."
