“WIGAN. What a goal that is. Goalkeeper, out to wide, Duffo clipped into midfield, round the corner into Barnsey, back out, Dean Marney plays it wide, carries on his run, crosses it, Barnesy then the goal. 11 passes I think. No-one on the Wigan side touches the ball. In the biggest game of the season. You beauty!”

There is no doubt in Sean Dyche’s mind when it comes to his favourite goal, and a stand-out moment of his five-year tenure, it is the opening strike in the promotion-sealing 2-0 success over Wigan Athletic in 2014.

But it is hard to single out just one highlight.

“We delivered a fantastic performance to get promoted, 23 games unbeaten to win the title in the Championship is an amazing feat for a group to do,” he added.

“But there are so many little moments. The fans can have the Blackburn one as theirs.”

Dyche is also pleased with his recruitment record and the development of players such as free transfer-to-England international goalkeeper Tom Heaton.

He added: “The bigger picture is the development of players, that’s something I’m very interested in and helping players get better within us or whether they’ve moved on.

“More recently we’ve spent money but there are players that we’ve got from relatively nowhere, players that were deemed not this or not that and their development to help the club and help themselves (has been brilliant.)

“The community department here, the building of that.

“They are very important and highlights in my world, knowing that the group of players are developing for themselves. All the boxes that you wanted ticking we’ve allowed them the chance to experience a lot of that, and I think that’s a fantastic thing.”

Dyche’s five-year anniversary - an achievement he feels will become increasingly rare in football - has been overshadowed by speculation linking him to vacant managerial roles. One has been filled, with Claude Puel replacing Craig Shakespeare at Leicester City. The Everton situation remains up in the air.

But even if Dyche is not destined for Goodison Park, there will come a day when Burnley have to look for his successor.

But with such a big input into the development of the Clarets’ multi-million pound training ground complex, and upgrade of the pitches at Gawthorpe, he would leave a lasting legacy.

“It’s got to be part of it. But it’s not just mine,” the Burnley boss added.

“It’s an era when the board, myself and perhaps even the players might in years to come say that was for the greater good.

“That will be a marker, but it won’t be just mine. There are a lot of people who have been involved in all of these things.

“There have been a lot of positives, let’s put it that way.”
