Newcastle United triumphed in the League Cup final at Wembley, defeating Liverpool and ending a 70-year trophy drought. Goals from Dan Burn and Alexander Isak secured the victory, overshadowing a late strike by Liverpool's Federico Chiesa. Club legend Alan Shearer, present to witness the victory he had longed for during his playing days, humorously suggested that star player Dan Burn might as well retire, emphasizing that such a moment may never be surpassed. Burn is also set to make his England debut soon, adding to a thrilling week in his career.
Not one bit of me is even remotely jealous of them by the way, because I retired 19 years ago and I am a fan now, the same as everyone else.
What next? Well first I would love to see big Dan Burn make his England debut this week and maybe he can find the Wembley net for his country as well as his club.
I'd forgotten about his England call-up when I spoke to him on Sunday night and said 'you might as well retire mate because it is not going to get any better than this'.
