Dan Burn interview: The gangly reject ‘with a chip on my shoulder to prove people wrong’

Dan Burn is the boy’s own story; the inspiration for any young footballer who suffers a set-back to their dreams. Who fears those dreams have been dashed. The gangly reject, let go by his boyhood club who then scored the crucial opening goal as they won their first trophy in 56 years. The 32-year-old who was not even good enough for his county team as a kid, who has finally received an England call-up. All in the same week.
