'Burn wants to give something back'
Dan Burn recently won Personality of the Year at the North East Football Writers' accolade, awarded for his work in the community, recognises Burn's contribution to the region as an ambassador of the Newcastle United at the awards ceremony, he said: "I was probably a little more selfish in my time before and was just desperate to make it as a footballer, and now I am in a position when I should and I want to give back."I enjoy going out and doing it, and it's nice to help the community and all the different projects."It is just nice to go out and do something rather than football."Former Newcastle defender John Anderson appreciates Burn's dedication to giving back to the community he grew up in."To be fair to Dan Burn, he has come through a long, hard road to get to where he is now," he said."He started at the bottom and, through hard work and endeavour, has got to where he is."He is a lad who appreciates everything he has got and he doesn't take it for granted and he wants to give something back."Listen to more on BBC Sounds
