Blyth-born Burn, who played in the League Cup final defeat by Manchester United two seasons ago, grew up as a Newcastle fan and was acutely aware of a drought which had been broken only by the club’s 1969 Inter Cities Fairs Cup win.

Dan Burn said he is afraid of waking from a "dream" after scoring in Newcastle's Carabao Cup final win -- two days after earning his first England call-up.

The boy from Blyth is the fan who thought his chance to play for Newcastle had gone when a Saudi takeover gave them the tag of the world’s richest club. Now a slow-burner of a career has caught fire. Two days after receiving his maiden England call-up, he got a medal and a man-of the-match award, a Wembley win and a Wembley goal.
