GEORDIE football hero Dan Burn stunned onlookers when he helped to push a stranded car off a busy roundabout.
The 6ft 7in Newcastle defender — whose Carabao Cup final goal last month inspired them to their first domestic trophy in 70 years — sprang into action on Saturday.
Witnesses said an electric BMW i3 had come to a standstill with its airbags deployed after a driver slammed on the brakes to avoid a crash on the A19, north of the North East city.
Phone footage shot by fan Joeanne Collis shows new England cap Burn, 32, climbing from his own car to join two other men.
Her nine-year-old son Reuben-Joh, nine, can be heard asking: “Mum, is that actually Dan Burn?”
She replies: “It is, aye. Absolute legend.”
Full-time carer Joeanne, 40, from Blyth, told The Sun: “Dan is from round here, so everyone knows him.
