Mersey beat for local lad Dann

SCOTT DANN returned to his home city to remind both Everton and Liverpool just what they missed out on.

The Birmingham central defender played a key role in the impressive FA Cup fourth-round victory at Everton, as the midlanders stretched their remarkable unbeaten run to 15 matches.

Dann, 23, was missed by both Everton and Liverpool as a youngster and ended up playing Sunday league football before being given a chance as a professional at Walsall.
