Preston's Reggae Boy Claude Davis has lit the blue touchpaper ahead of tomorrow's derby by branding Burnley skipper Frank Sinclair "useless".
The Preston defender is a former international rival of Sinclair, who pipped him to a squad place when Jamaica made their only appearance in the World Cup finals back in 1998.
He said: "Because he was playing in England before me they left me out, saying I was too inexperienced, but he is useless."
