FEEL THE BURN
WEMBLEY winner and England new boy Dan Burn has spent the past few days pinching himself to make sure the latest chapters in his football career are true.
But that won't mean he will be reluctant to get vocal with his big-name international team-mates.
Asked if his leadership qualities would prompt him to have a go at Harry Kane or Jude Bellingham (far right) if he thought it was needed, Burn said: "Absolutely. I've no problem with that."
And he gave a fascinating insight into how he has built up those leadership qualities.
The 32-year-old Newcastle United defender said: "Sometimes people don't want to speak up because they find it a bit embarrassing.
"I love the NFL and I feel like they're really good at it. They are not bothered.
"If they feel something is going to help the group they'll get up and say it. I feel that's something English football, in general, could learn from.
