Dan Burn – “From ASDA Aisles to St James’ Skies”

Caricature by The Toon Army Artist

Straight from the pencil (and wicked sense of humour) of The Toon Army Artist, here comes Blyth’s very own skyscraper in black and white.

Born and bred in Blyth, former ASDA trolley assistant, now fully-qualified aerial traffic controller at St James’ Park — this caricature celebrates the remarkable rise of Newcastle’s gentle giant, Dan Burn.

Complete with hi-viz vest, supermarket heritage badges and that unforgettable expression as a Mitre match ball introduces itself forcefully to his forehead… BONK!

Bandage applied. Dignity slightly dented. Commitment still 100%.

This lovingly exaggerated portrait captures everything fans adore about Big Dan:

• Towering presence

• Total fearlessness

• Proper local lad energy

• And a head that’s seen more footballs than most nets

Digitally hand-painted with humour, warmth and Geordie pride, this print is a tribute to the lad who went from pushing trolleys at ASDA Blyth to pushing strikers off the ball in the Premier League.

Perfect for:

• Toon Army legends

• Blyth locals with long memories

• Anyone who appreciates a defender who literally puts his head on the line

Warning: May cause loud laughter, nostalgic ASDA stories, and sudden shouts of

“HOWAY BIG DAN!”
