​Dyche: "I'm not the Special One - I'm the Ginger One"

Burnley boss Sean Dyche says that he is not 'the Special One' rather 'the Ginger One'.

The Clarets defeated Crystal Palace on Saturday to claim their first away win of the season. They now have 39 points on the board and are almost certain of securing their top-flight status.

Following the game, Dyche said that he doesn't feel like the Special One despite his side's remarkable accomplishments this season.

"I'm not The Special One, like Jose (Mourinho). I'm only special because I've got ginger hair and 95 per cent of the world's population haven't got ginger hair," he said.

"Joking apart, I stay focussed. I've seen football matches change so quickly and that's why I don't get involved. You don't see me running up and down the sidelines when we score or after games.

"I just try to stay factual, focused, and it is real, authentic. This is not a spin. This is who I am - boring."
