Dan Burn has revealed Sir Bobby Robson is a key reason behind his “love” for Newcastle United. The legendary manager would have been celebrating his 90th birthday on the same day the Magpies take on Liverpool.
Wor Flags are preparing an emotional tribute in the East Stand to commemorate the occasion. Blyth-born defender Burn was in the academy ranks during Robson’s five-year managerial spell at St James’ Park.
Released by his boyhood club as an 11-year-old, the defender has been a revelation since his Tyneside return last year. Burn helped stave off relegation upon arrival and has deputised at left-back in 2022-23 to play a key part in the Champions League push.
