Steve Harper is hoping Newcastle boss Alan Pardew finally gets what he wants after a summer of turmoil on Tyneside.
Harper, who launched the charity game at St James' on Tuesday, said: "I'll have to have two days off being a Newcastle fan this season, as you can probably understand. "This is a special place - just walking up the steps there again, the hairs on my arms stood up. "It would be great to see a lot of people here on September 11, and it will be a very special night, hopefully, with a good crowd in. "Then 10 days later if I run out in a Hull City shirt, once that whistle blows I'll get slaughtered every time I touch the ball, no doubt. But I wouldn't expect anything less." All proceeds from the match will go to charity with the plan to share 85 per cent between the great North Children's Hospital, the Sir Bobby Foundation and the Newcastle United Foundation, with the remainder going to smaller local good causes.
