Difficult to mark as a game of two halves and to be honest at 2-1 I thought that was it.

In the seats for this one. Pre match this lad came round selling a QPR pop record, I politely told him no thanks and reminded him of Burnley's unbeaten record and that was the one I wanted.
At half time he came round again and asked me again. He was politely

told to stick it up his arse

Definitely Anfield Road end, we were in the Paddock to the right of the halfway line and I can still picture it going in today.

It’s from Keighley. What do you expect? Nothing but excellence

In my day there were some cracking small Timmy Taylor’s pubs around town. Alas I expect most of them have closed down.

Remember it well. Our first trip to Merseyside, didn’t have a clue where we were going. Saw some floodlights in the distance, parked up near them. It was surprisingly quiet and on approaching the ground we realised it was Goodison and Everton reserves were playing!. Were redirected and on arrival at...

I admired few opponents in the 70’s. Colin RIP, you were one of them.
A great box to box player with immense skills.

Waiting for the batteries to run out. Being a Yorkshire man need to get my monies worth

Memories revisited. Tommy Thomas you took 4 of us from Airedale General in the back of your dads van. I can’t remember what cans we tried to supp, but bouncing around it was impossible

More memories. That was the first time I took a “young lady” to a match. We stopped on the way back at the Herders over the tops back to Keighley for a couple of shandy’s. Nothing else transpired as I’d left my lights on my Wolsely Hornet and she had to push it to help me jump start it 😩. Helen Bel...

On my way on a special train to Coventry in 1974. A 1-1 draw and the coldest I’ve ever been at a match, having arrived at Colne railway station without my coat.

This would only be automatically triggered if ALK had bought 90% of the shares which hasn't happened. It's at the discretion of ALK whether they do make offers for those minor shareholdings. I suspect they won't bother. There's been no additional capital issued so nothing has changed for the small ...

I still don’t get why the whistle being blown stopped a review. The whistle being blown didn’t influence the next step, ie no one stopped playing.

Memories !, despite arriving in Blackpool with what we thought was plenty of time, we didn’t get in due to the number of Clarets around the ground, until it was 1-1.

I just started reading the clubs we could travel to in the 3rd round and then we realised we couldn't go anyway.

So did I, hoped Harrogate would beat the Seasiders.
Then ding dong, the penny dropped.

Still hope they do though

Played in goal in my first full season watching the Clarets.
RIP Tony
