Burn's rise 'is an unbelievable story about never giving up' - Brown

Former Premier League midfielder Michael Brown says Dan Burn's rise from non-league Darlington to winning the League Cup "is an unbelievable story about never giving up no matter how late you start your football journey".

Burn, who also received his first England call-up last week from Thomas Tuchel, cemented his place in Newcastle history by scoring the first goal in Sunday's 2-1 win over Liverpool at Wembley.

"It is a lesson to keep believing in yourself to know that you will get the opportunity," Brown said on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club. "His attitude is fantastic and I am delighted for him."
