- Newcastle defeated Nottingham Forest in their opening game of the season
- After the game, Allan Saint-Maximin went to greet the fans outside the stadium
- He made a very generous gesture by handing a supporter a Rolex watch
- The fan was left ‘totally speechless’ by Saint-Maximin’s generosity
Allan Saint Maximin was in a very generous mood on Saturday when he gifted a fan a Rolex watch after Newcastle’s win against Nottingham Forest.
Eddie Howe‘s side started their Premier League campaign with a comfortable win over their newly promoted opponents, with goals in the second half from Fabian Schar and Callum Wilson seal a 2-0 win.
After the game, Saint-Maximin went to greet the supporters and made a remarkable gesture when he handed the expensive watch to Newcastle supporter Steve Dutton.
Clearly stunned by Saint-Maximin’s kindness, Dutton shook hands with the attacker and thanked him for his generosity.

Dutton was still in disbelief later in the evening when he praised the Frenchman’s kindness on Twitter.
“I was the person who got the watch from ASM as a gift, I was completely speechless,” Dutton wrote.
“I thought he was coming to sign autographs and take pictures with the kids. I’m still in shock, can’t thank @asaintmaximin enough.”
Alongside the video on his own Instagram page, Saint-Maximin wrote the post: “These are the values of the Helios community.
“With the tremendous support you give me all the time, these little gifts are the least I can do to thank you.”
Helios is the board game that Saint-Maximin made himself. Inspired by the French winger’s own fascination with Greek mythology, it’s developed a cult following of sorts in the Northeast, with players competing for money at events hosted by the Newcastle star.
The Chronicle posted a video of the incident on social media, praising Saint-Maximin as a “man of the people,” which the 25-year-old retweeted.

He has now given away two watches in the past 12 months after handing Newcastle supporter Michael Urwin a TAG Heuer Aquaracer in November 2021.
The winger was clearly in good spirits after Newcastle’s opening day win when he tweeted: ‘Black & White forever’.
Saint-Maximin has been linked with a departure from St James’ Park this summer, with Tottenham and Chelsea a interest in him, but his Twitter post seems to indicate that he is very happy at Newcastle and has no intention of leaving the club any time soon.
