Burnley FC manager Brian Laws is happy to have Graham Alexander and Martin Paterson available for tonight's clash with Stoke City.
Laws believes Alexander, 38, and Paterson 22, bring different, enduring qualities to the team.
"Paterson is an enthusiastic player. He is a lad who would chase an empty crisp packet on a windy day, " said the Burnley boss. "He has that enthusiasm which spreads to everyone.
"No matter what position he plays in, he gives that impression he would go through a brick wall for you. From a manager's point of view that is fantastic.
"Alexander has the experience and know-how. He is not going to chase the empty crisp packet because he cannot. But he senses danger and you cannot put a price on that."
