Neil Warnock has again waxed lyrical about Newcastle United defender Dan Burn. The retired manager was one of the first public figures to eulogise the Blyth-born centre-back following his Tyneside move.
Last month, Warnock even referred to himself as the “original Dan Burn fan” by suggesting he should be in Gareth Southgate’s England team. Unfortunately, that dream never came to fruition for the 30-year-old - despite desperate pleas from Toon supporters.
Burn has proven to be one of the most important signings at St James’ Park in recent years. Before his arrival in January, Newcastle had one of the leakiest defences in the Premier League.
