Burnley veteran Alexander: Getting rid of Elliott best thing for career!

Burnley veteran Graham Alexander says 'splitting up' with Matt Elliott at Scunthorpe United was the making of his career!

At Scunthorpe, he shared a house with Elliott, who would go on to play for Leicester and Scotland.

"We were just two lads growing up. Men Behaving Badly, I suppose. But we had a laugh. We never worried about the trappings, just our next match, our next night out, our next weekend. Matt then got a great move to Oxford and, career-wise, that was great for me," Alexander jokingly told the Sunday Times.
