Newcastle player ran out of fuel on the roundabout: The player's Porsche stopped.

Joe Willock ran out of petrol in his Porsche

According to The Sun: Newcastle player Joe Willock found himself in a funny situation when his £200,000 Porsche stopped due to a lack of fuel.

Fans witnessed this unusual moment as the car, which goes from 0 to 199 miles per hour, broke down at the roundabout.

Eyewitnesses filmed Willock, in Newcastle training gear and black sports trousers, filling up the tank from a green jerry can.

In the clip, which became popular online, one passerby commented:

“Should get you to the garage.”

Willock replied:

“Yeh, hopefully, otherwise I’m f*g pushing it.”

After that, Joe thanked the fans and continued on his way last Sunday. One commentator wrote:

“Hahahahah poor Joe Willock.”

Another joked:

“All the money and running this car on empty.”

Some noted that Willock's Porsche 911 GT3 was only a few hundred yards from a gas station in Coughey, Newcastle.

Earlier this year, Willock's teammate Dan Burn had already helped a driver stuck on the street by pushing his car through the city.

Recalling Burn's heroic acts, one fan humorously remarked about Willock's situation:

“I was expecting Dan Burn to be pushing his car down the street, and I am mildly disappointed.”

Joe Willock, a former England U21 player, joined Newcastle on loan from Arsenal in January 2021, and in August signed a permanent contract for £25 million.

The incident with Willock sparked lively discussions among fans who found many opportunities for jokes. Such moments add lightness to the sports world, showing that even professional athletes can find themselves in funny predicaments. This story is likely to remain in fans' memories and become yet another legend about players and their cars.
