Burley Tykes a look at hero Brian
Published 00:00 19/02/08 By
Barnsley Fa Cup hero Brian Howard is hoping to get a call-up from Scotland - after playing for England as a kid.
His last-gasp winner at Liverpool shot the midfielder into the spotlight and he is now in the frame for an international 'transfer'.
The Tykes skipper was born in Winchester and played for England at under-20 level while with Southampton, although his family is Scottish.
Now he is open to offers from Scotland - with the SFA tipped off about his change of heart and new national team boss George Burley already aware of his ability.
Howard, 25, left Saints before Burley took over, but the Scotland chief's spies are on the case and will check out one of the best players in the Championship.
Howard's goal at Anfield was his 11th of the season and that kind of threat may earn him a surprise second shot at international football.
