Burnley boss Sean Dyche laughs off being called 'The Ginger Mourinho' by former player Kieran Trippier at the PDC World Darts Championship.

Burnley boss Sean Dyche has revealed that former player Kieran Trippier 'warned' that he would make a reference to him at the PDC World Darts Championship.

During Wednesday's play at the Alexandra Palace, Trippier - who previously played for the Clarets under Dyche - held up a card saying 'Ginger Mourinho = Sean Dyche'.

The gesture was laughed off by Dyche, who admitted that the Tottenham Hotspur right-back had used the nickname during his time in the North-West.

The 46-year-old told reporters: "He used to call me that in training all the time I don't know where he got it from.

"That's the kind of connection I have with my players, or ex-players in this case. He did warn me by text, he may have had a lager shandy. [It was] a bit of fun."

Trippier left Burnley for Spurs in 2015, making 58 appearances in all competitions since the completion of the transfer.
