Speaking on the Sky Sports Football YouTube channel, Dan Burn has remarkably claimed that Ryan Fraser has actually beat him in the air in the past.
Burn and Fraser are the respective tallest and shortest players in the Premier League. With Burn standing at 6 feet and seven inches and Fraser at 5 feet and four inches.
However, somehow, Burn says he’s lost a header to Fraser in the past, and actually, he says he’s lost out to players even smaller than the Scot in the past.
What’s been said?
Burn spoke about Fraser beating him in the air.
“Never have I ever lost a header to Ryan Fraser?” Burn as asked.
Burn flashed up a card that said ‘I have’ and explained the situation.
“I tell you what I’ve lost headers against smaller people than you mate, a striker who used to play at Portsmouth beat me at the back post for a header, and I don’t think I’ve ever lived it down,” Burn said.
How?
Burn says he’s lost a header to a Portsmouth striker smaller than Fraser, but unfortunately for the Newcastle man, his blushes haven’t been spared as ex-Pompey ace Conor Chaplin is actually two inches taller than Fraser.
The only question we have is, how?
There are 15 inches separating Dan Burn and Ryan Fraser, for context, this would be like 4 foot 10 Danny DeVito beating 6 foot 1 Robert Lewandowski to a header, it’s just unimaginable.
We’d love to see footage of Fraser actually beating Burn to a header, because it’s truly hard to compute how the Scot could have won an aerial duel against one of the Premier League’s true giants.
