Dan Burn channelled his inner Gazza when the Newcastle United defender stared down the barrel of the camera and roared he was going to get his suit measured following the Magpies' Carabao Cup semi-final win against Southampton. However, the Geordie and his team-mates won't be in their finery when they get off the team bus at Wembley on Sunday. For good reason.
Burn and Newcastle's leadership group wanted there to be as few distractions as possible ahead of the club's first cup final in nearly 24 years. That goes right down to getting fitted for a new three-piece. Clearly, Newcastle are not just going to the capital for a day out.
"That should be the mentality of everyone," Burn told ChronicleLive. "I've heard people speak to us and say, 'It's just good to get to the final' but I don't agree. It is good to get here but for a club the size of Newcastle and for how long we have gone without, we need to win and we should have that mentality that we are going there to win."
