Dan Burn regrets his dressing-room dance. Not because the Newcastle defender has been asked to repeat it ‘hundreds’ of times since. More so because he is right when he says we have forgotten what else happened that night.
‘I was a bit gutted,’ he says, reflecting on the jig that went out live on TV. ’It took away from the goal I scored, which was a worldie!’
Burn had not scored in a year with his boyhood club when, in the quarter-final of the Carabao Cup at home to Leicester last month, he broke a tense stalemate in the second half after bursting between two defenders and burying right-footed at the Gallowgate End.
