Elliott relishing Old Trafford atmosphere
Wade Elliott spends his summers jogging around Old Trafford - but after his Wembley winner the Burnley midfielder finally has the chance to get inside Manchester United's ground.
Elliott's 13th-minute strike, a superb 20-yard curler, was enough to sink Sheffield United in the Coca-Cola Championship play-off final and fire Owen Coyle's Clarets up to the heady heights of the Barclays Premier League.
The 30-year-old lives a stone's throw away from the United ground but usually drives straight past on his way to games at less glamorous locations such as Barnsley, Blackpool and Plymouth.
But after securing a £60million jackpot for Burnley, the former Bashley and Bournemouth midfielder and his team-mates will be lining up against Sir Alex Ferguson's superstars next season.
"I live right opposite the ground but I've never played there," said Elliott.
"I normally run up there trying to get fit over the close-season. I know my way round it, it's a big perimeter so I run up there and do a few sprints around it - so now I'm looking forward to getting inside it at last."
