THE Premier League’s tallest footballer turned up for a match driving one of the UK’s smallest cars.

Newcastle United’s Dan Burn was pictured arriving at St James’ Park in a tiny Smart ForFour.

Staff laughed as he ducked his head to clamber out of the door and shake their hands on New Year’s Eve .

The centre back was spotted signing signatures for young supporters, who have nicknamed him Big Dan Burn, the previous day at the Toon training ground.

His dinky two-seater, built in 2018 with a 900cc petrol engine, was most recently registered with the DVLA in August.

The 3.495-metre length car is the third smallest on Britain’s roads – only behind the Citroen Ami and Smart ForTwo.

He’s the latest football star to be seen driving a German Smart car after Raheem Sterling, Granit Xhaka and ex-Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel.

Supporters compared Burn with The Simpsons’ character Ian the Very Tall Man who drives a Volkswagen Beetle – and Mr Incredible from Disney’s The Incredibles.
