Burnley sign grandson of 1966 World Cup-winner Ron Flowers

Burnley have signed Harry Flowers, the grandson of 1966 World Cup winner Ron Flowers, from Brocton, who play in the ninth tier of English football.

Defender Flowers, 20, has been playing in the Premier Division of the Midland League but will now get the chance to step up to the Premier League subject to clearance.

Ron Flowers earned 49 caps for England and was a non-playing member of Sir Alf Ramsey's triumphant squad, eventually being awarded a winners' medal in 2009 alongside others who had not featured in the starting XI.

UPDATE: Clarets complete deals for young prospects @HarryFlowers2 and Harry Limb.
