Die-hard Hartlepool United fan Jeff Stelling has revealed that he was a boyhood Burnley supporter \u2013 but insisted he no longer cheers for the Premier League side.<\/p>\n

The 68-year-old made his talkSPORT debut on Monday (December 4) where he began his new role as host of the 6AM breakfast show alongside Ally McCoist, replacing Laura Woods who left the role earlier this summer.<\/p>\n

During the show, the former Soccer Saturday presenter was asked by Shebahn Aherne who is boyhood hero was as he responded with Burnley legend Frank Casper who spent nine years with the club from 1967 to 1976 before managing the club from 1989 to 1991.<\/p>\n

"He was one of my favourite players in one of my favourite teams because I used to be a boyhood Burnley fan," Stelling revealed. Known from his time on Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday for his love of Hartlepool, he made sure to state that he's no longer a fan of the Premier League side, but opened up on when his love for The Clarets began.<\/p>\n

He added: "I love Burnley, the reason I supported Burnley was as a kid, you used to write to all the big teams and ask for programmes and any free memorabilia. Most of them ignored you completely but Burnley always sent back a load of stuff, I didn't even know where Burnley was."<\/p>\n
