'It was very emotional two years ago, not just for the players but for the whole city. This time I feel as though we believe that we should be doing that on a regular basis' Dan Burn is ready to crown an England call-up with a trophy for Newcastle United

Dan Burn of Newcastle United (33) arrives for the Premier League match between Liverpool FC and Newcastle United FC at Anfield on February 26, 2025 in Liverpool, England.

Dan Burn is one win away from the most perfect week of his life. The 32-year-old Newcastle United defender earned a surprise England call-up on Friday morning ahead of starting the Carabao Cup final for his boyhood club on Sunday.

Newcastle hasn’t lifted a domestic trophy for 70 years and no United captain has touched silverware of any kind since 1969, when Bob Moncur raised the Inter-City Fairs Cup.

It’s something Burn is acutely aware of. “It’s been such a long time since we’ve won something, that I’m not surprised that people say that [the club is cursed]” he explained to journalists at the North East Football Writers Dinner this month.
