THE unassuming village of Burn near Selby might seem a far cry from the palatial Cheshire pads favoured by Manchester United’s footballing stars. But the village does have a connection with one of the club’s best-known players.
Colombian striker Radamel Falcao’s great-grandfather George King is reported to have lived there, before emigrating to South America with his pregnant wife in 1932.
The village has a habit of inviting local celebs to switch on its Christmas lights. Any bets that it might be Falcao doing the honours this year?
