FORMER ENGLAND AND UNITED PLAYER SAYS DEFENDER COULD CAUSE ‘PANDEMONIUM IN THE BOX’ AT WORLD CUP
ENGLAND legend Sol Campbell has warned the world that 6ft 7in Dan Burn could cause ‘pandemonium’ for the Three Lions this summer.
The Newcastle United star towered above the Liverpool defence to score a vital header at Wembley in the Carabao Cup final to spark wild scenes and help the Magpies to win a first domestic trophy in 70 years.
And Campbell, who scored for England at the World Cup in 2002 against Sweden and infamously had two golden goals controversially disallowed at major finals, reckons Burn can cause havoc.
Campbell told The Journal exclusively: “Dan Burn could cause pandemonium in the box and a lot of top teams at the World Cup won't know how to deal with that. I could easily see Dan Burn scoring an important goal from a set-play or corner.
“If you look carefully at most of the top countries, a lot of the players can’t head the ball - they just can’t do it.
“I'd say a lot of English teams and English guys, they can’t head the ball. In the Premier League, there are various players who come in from all over the world, they can’t handle it.
