World Cup debut: Newcastle and England defender Dan Burn, who recently made his World Cup debut at age 34, is famously missing a finger.

He was substituted on in the 75th minute during England's thrilling 3-2 round-of-16 victory over Mexico to help secure the team's progression.

Quarter-final focus: The towering centre-back played a crucial role in maintaining England's lead, making eight defensive contributions to repel late Mexican attacks.

As the squad prepares for Saturday's crucial quarter-final clash against Norway, fans have been curious about the backstory behind his missing digit.

Childhood accident: Burn lost his finger when he was just 13 years old following a traumatic accident in his hometown of Blyth.
