Like a doting father, Scott Parker humorously shakes his head as he approaches a gathering of his Burnley players in the canteen at their Gawthorpe Hall training ground.
The squad are concluding their own game of Clarets Traitors, based on the TV series, and the gossip is heavy with how Ashley Barnes and Joe Worrall have fooled everyone to win.
‘Hours of discussion,’ calls out Parker as he walks across, resplendent in grey knitwear, to join the chit-chat.
The game was striker Zian Flemming’s idea and it has generated team-bonding for two months with daily votes after training and player pictures on the changing-room wall crossed out after every elimination.
