A BUTCHER has launched his own ‘Proudsville’ sausages to celebrate the success of Burnley FC this season.

Daniel Heys, of Heys Butchers on Lyndhurst Road in the town, admits that the moment the Clarets equalised against Manchester City was not the ‘wurst’ time to toast the efforts of the Turf Moor side.

The ‘Proudsville’ sausage is a traditional sausage just like the club but has pepper, sage and thyme in the recipe. The butchers will be serving them up on toasted sandwiches before lunchtime kick-off games.

The 38-year-old said: “Everyone is talking about the Proudsville thing, after manager Sean Dyche’s quote, and when we played leaders Manchester City and came out with a point.

“We had the Worsthorne Nibbler which was made by dad and we just wanted to create another one after the success of that.

“We launched it on Tuesday and had some great feedback on Facebook and from the customers,” said Daniel.

“Everyone who tried it bought it.

“We also wanted to make the sausage universal and something that was not too spicy and everyone in the family could eat it.

“Burnley have done remarkably well this season, and who would have thought that we would be seventh at this stage of the season?

“They have had a bit of a bad run but in that time they could have picked up wins.

“We are really proud of their achievements this season.”

It is not the first time the butchers has created food to celebrate the club.

He said: “We used to have ‘The Beast’ sausage for keeper Brian Jensen, which was a plain meaty one.

“Burnley FC are looking to taste some of the new sausages as they are thinking of taking them for any early kick-offs.

“We have done about eight sausages for the football club in the past 10 years and we thought it was time to come up with another sausage to celebrate the success of the club.”
