Blackburn Rovers midfielder David Dunn admits he feels he let down Birmingham City when he was at St Andrews.

Twelve months ago the midfielder left Birmingham City in a deal worth £2.2million and with a reputation for being a serial crock. Now he is fast approaching his half-century of appearances on his second stint at hometown club Blackburn.

He admitted: "The first thing I thought when I came back was that I needed to be playing 30 games a season again.

"I think this year I've maybe played more than 30 games now. I can't remember the last time I played 30 games in a season - I don't think it was at Birmingham.

"Blackburn obviously thought it was a bit of a gamble at first but in terms of games played, it's been a success.

"I'm doing a few little bits and bobs different. I'm not driving up the M6 a couple of times a week, which I'm sure affected me.

"I've grown up a bit. I've got a lovely girlfriend now and I see my daughter a lot more. Everything is good there so I'm sure that helps as well.

"I do feel in the back of my mind I let Birmingham down and I still feel I kind of owe them."
