Dunn wants chance to shine

Blackburn midfielder David Dunn is confident he is the man to spark Rovers' Premier League promotion bid into life.

The former England international has featured sparingly on his club's return to the Championship, having made just one start, but is desperate for a chance to show what he can still do. Dunn, who has made almost 300 appearances for his boyhood club, admitted he may have to look elsewhere for first-team action if he continues to be overlooked. "I am not even saying I should be starting but I certainly feel very strongly there are certain times where I would have been able to make an impact," said Dunn. "Just the fact I am playing in front of my own fans gives people a lift. I could make an impact just by running at someone. Down the line if I am not playing here, I want to play football somewhere."
