It will be a proud moment for the 22 year-old Posh fan when he leads his local team out onto the Wembley pitch, 14 years after joining the club’s Academy as a wide-eyed eight year-old.
He celebrated wildly in the stands with his mates and family when Posh won the trophy 10 years ago. Now he wants to celebrate on a special pitch after walking up the famous steps to receive the trophy.
Achieving every player’s dream of playing at the national stadium isn’t enough for a Posh team who have impressed everyone with the standard of their football this season.
“It’s a proud moment for me and the club to reach a Wembley final,” Burrows said. “When I was watching the final 10 years ago I never imagined leading a team out there. That was my first experience of a big game at a big stadium with a brilliant atmosphere and I’ll never forget the roar of the crowd or me and my mates just going crazy after Posh won.
“It really opened my eyes about what football could lead to, but, although my first final is unbelievably at Wembley, and it will look great on my CV, it won’t mean anything if we don’t win.
“We’ve been counting down the days since the semi-final and now we need to make the most of the opportunity by winning.
