WORLD Cup winner Neil Back will be putting Burnley youngsters through their paces tomorrow at a special training session.
The former flanker, who starred in England’s heroic 20-17 win against Australia in 2003, will be at the Holden Road club to coach a number of the junior teams.
Back, who also played for the British Lions, will hold the session alongside Burnley’s Chris Pickles - one of just four coaches across the country to be honoured by the QBE Insurance My Coach programme.
Pickles, who coaches the U13s and works as a groundsman at Burnley FC, was nominated for the My Coach award by the club’s first XV coach Simon Finnan.
Finnan recognised the 19-year-old’s dedication to the club and community rugby through his involvement in coaching.
