Blyth Library install display in honour of local "hero" Dan Burn and Newcastle United Carabao Cup run

A Northumberland librarian has described Dan Burn as a "hero" in his hometown after putting up a display in Blyth Library.

Burn was instrumental in Newcastle United's run to the Carabao Cup final and scored his first (and so far only) goal for the club in a 2-0 quarter final win over Leicester City at St. James' Park. But it's not just his performances on the pitch that have captured hearts in his hometown, with the librarian who put the display together saying that he shows that "it doesn't matter where you come from to be successful".

Tracy Archbold, senior library assistant at Blyth Library, admits that the display was "her just getting carried away", when she put it together, which she describes as "just a few printouts and the Newcastle United books we have in stock". But she chose to do it as Burn has been an inspiration in Blyth since he joined his boyhood club last January from Brighton for £13m, with him since becoming an integral part of United's backline.
