SPY in the camp Paul Gascoigne has warned Wolves that Stan Ternent will have his Burnley troops "revved up" for tonight's Carling Cup showdown.

The former Tottenham Hotspur and England ace has vital inside information of how the Burnley boss prepares his players from his brief time at Turf Moor in 2002.

And the midfielder, now training with Wanderers in the hope of winning a contract, revealed there is still a deep-rooted affection for the Clarets and manager Ternent.

He said: "I really enjoyed my time at Burnley. I loved Stan - he is a completely different manager to anyone I've ever worked with.

"He will have his team keyed up for tonight and it will be another tough game for Wolves. Like all cup games it doesn't matter who you're playing. You have to apply yourselves, which the lads did in the second half on Saturday against Leicester, because Stan will have them revved up, that's for sure."

Gazza, who came within a whisker of steering Burnley into the play-offs in his final game against Coventry, added: "For me going to Burnley was very different.

"In the First Division everyone seemed to just whack the ball and I found it a big difference from the Premiership.

"When I finished at Everton I was going to go to Dubai because I wanted to go abroad. Walter Smith but he was getting the sack, but David Moyes came in and I had the opportunity to go to Burnley.

"It was an exciting time to go there because it was the last six or seven games and they had the chance of winning promotion. Sadly it never happened."

Ternent is also looking forward to shaking hands with Gazza at tonight's Molineux reunion.

And the Clarets chief would not be surprised to see the former England ace stun everyone by earning himself a contract with the Premiership strugglers.

Ternent added: "Paul is a fantastic lad and great to have around the place. He's in good shape, he trains hard and he still loves his football, so I hope it works out well for him.

"He did well for us when he came. We missed the play-offs by a goal unfortunately, but I would have thought he could still do a job because he can still handle a ball and pass the ball and play."
