As a Wigan Athletic fan – I just wanted to have a quick word about Dan Burn | OneFootball

I have been a Wigan Athletic fan for 50 years now and I just wanted to have a quick word about Dan Burn.

In the past, I have been up to St James’ Park to watch Newcastle United, back in the early eighties.

My mate Charlie Blake was a Newcastle United fanatic.

Amongst the matches I attended over 40 years ago at St James’ Park, was the infamous West Ham game when the fire bomb was thrown into the away section.

Anyway, getting back to the reason for this email.

Dan Burn spent two and a half seasons (2016/17, 2017/18 and the first half of 2018/19) at Wigan, playing for us in the Championship and League One.

He was a top bloke and excellent player for us, when turning out for Wigan in the second and third tiers.

Looking from afar, it has been great to see him forming such a solid partnership with Fabian Schar in central defence.

Eddie Howe has helped him now become an excellent player in the top tier.

About time the media gave Dan Burn the proper recognition that he deserves.

On what I have seen, he is worthy of an England call up.
