It was also an educational trip about the World Wars and Logan, who plays for Burnley Academy’s Under 12s, laid a wreath at the Menin Gate as part of the Last Post Ceremony on behalf of Burnley FC.

“I was privileged to lay the wreath,” said defender Logan. “It was a very sombre atmosphere with around 2,000 people there.

“Playing football was also a good experience against teams from other countries.”
