Brighton and Newcastle have a game in hand on us so it’s closer than it appears

The game they both have in hand on us is against each other.

Remember her in 'Upstairs Downstairs '...

It's the next on my list.

Thought Gerrard for a while. But it would be a stepping stone for him (on his eventual way to liverpool)

[quote=beeholeclaret post_id=1506667 Another name not mentioned too often these days is "Billy Ingham" who played in many positions for Burnley including full back, midfield and up front. To be fair in the 1972-73 promotion season he made the number 12 shirt his own. [/quote] Interesting, when looki...

On a similar note, I have recently read Johnny Crossan's autobiography "the man they couldn't ban" He tells of the injustices of growing up in Derry and how it affected his progress as a Footballer in Northern Ireland by being a Derry Man.

19/20

Current badge without doubt.

Adam Phillips on target for Morecambe.
Wells for Bristol City.
Styles (as has been mentioned on another thread) for Barnsley.

claretfern

Interesting line up. Billy Rodaway in the '9' shirt..he will have been defending no doubt with Peter Noble pushed further forward.

I remember Ralph sitting on the ball (and thinking it hilarious) in the Blackpool - Burnley game Feb. 1967 I was taken to see as a young lad. I recall him sat on the ball with Willie Morgan stood next him. I'm unsure though whether he was up to his antics or if there was a break in play.

claretfern

May not be the first game...3 matches being shown. (Will probably be last !!!!)

claretfern

ITV4 10.30am features Burnley v. Arsenal, March 1975

claretfern

With regards to the 3rd keeper.
We had a young lad, who played for the Scotland Youth team, called Matt Tyrie. He may well be the guy on the photo (?) but could well be before his time with us. CT may know......

claretfern

I would guess this photo call is for the 1964/65 season (?) Jimmy Adamson's last as a player.....

claretfern

Willie Irvine (NIR)
Leighton James (W)
Andy Lochhead (SCO)
Ralph Coates (ENG)
Stephen Ward (ROI)

"Wood always does well against West Ham" (I never know why such things matter tbh)......I think we can put that to bed now. He doesn't do well against Liverpool as well does he???!!!!

claretfern

Steve Kindon (Winger/Centre Forward)
Arthur Bellamy (everywhere!)
Peter Noble (full back /Midfield)
Gordon Harris (midfield/winger)

Has a masters degree in mechanical engineering.....

Found this Manchester Utd v Burnley game which it says is 1965-66.Unfortunately a defeat but it’s 46 minutes of footage. https://youtu.be/3uIlHl1sq20 Good stuff....must be the 1966-67 season though as Kenneth Wolstenholme references Burnley's ICFC cup game with Stuttgart which was September 1966.

claretfern

Love the retro stuff.

claretfern

Is Sam expecting money to spend? Bilic wasn't getting any by all accounts.

claretfern

....was some of my earliest TV memories. Steve Zodiac was it?
Also Mike Mercury (Supercar)
'Four Feather Falls' was another.
Wasn't aware until it was pointed out,
I'm sure on this messageboard, that Nicholas Parsons was the voice of Tex Tucker.

Manchester United brought back George Best from home in Belfast for the return fixture on the 28th, winning 5-1

Kevin Tully, has always stuck with me though especially as a few years later I think there was a cult TV character using the same name.

......Probably thinking of Rik Mayall's character 'Kevin Turvey' ?

claretfern

Great story. Records show that he scored 4 in a 6-0 win over Sheff Utd Christmas Day 1920.

Rouwen Hennings with a couple of goals for Fortuna Dusseldorf.

Gary Neville lives near Jumbles County Park, Turton

Just up the road from me. I walk round there often....will keep an eye out to see if he also takes in a walk ...
I know he had a 'bunker type' house built on land between Bradshaw & Affetside, according to the locals, but he sold that.

claretfern

Kevin Whately was sat not far from me at the Watford - Burnley 6th Round F.A. Cup tie in 2003. He seemed to know one or two Claret fans ......

I can remember plenty of people were up in arms when we released him. Is he playing in the first team at Barnsley?

13 appearances & 2 goals this season ..

claretfern

His name cropped up on my on line newsfeed today. Apparently he is a 'hot prospect'. When I checked wiki p, it says he started his youth career with us then went to Bury and is currently with Barnsley.
I don't recall his name ever being mentioned on here but apologies if it has.

How’s that not a penalty near the end

Thought the same watching it. Wouldn't have got away with that nowadays. Today, the striker would've been looking for the pen before the tackle ! I feel that side of the game had more honesty about it then.

Paul Cook, bookies favourite to take over.....

Nigel Clough:
"The Number 9" as his dad referred to him when at Forest !!

Burnley's on loan midfielder, Adam Phillips, scores Morecambe's winner.

When Phil Stant was scoring lots of goals I had the feeling that he would end up playing for us. Ex Army man if my memory serves me well? Read Phil Stant's autobiography some years back 'Ooh Ah Stantona' He served in the Falklands War. Bolton born, and was in Stan Ternent's Bury side; Stan wrote th...

can you remember how long ago it was when you watched it claretfern?

About 6 or 7 years ago....
Just checked it out. It was called "6 days to Saturday" and is on YouTube.
Set in 1963. Bert Head was the Manager. It features a young Don Rogers.
A good watch for those who like a bit of nostalgia.

Mike Trebilcock scoring for Plymouth in Div2...just over a year later he bags 2 goals in the FA Cup final for Everton.

One of my favourites was DT.
Went on to great things with QPR and Everton. Made Bob Latchford at Everton, supplying him with all those crosses from the wing.

Will you be doing a played for both page for KV Mechelen? You could have Defour and Drissa Diallo on that one.

Neill was player/manager at the time and went on to manage both Spurs & Arsenal.

Also combined his Player/Manager role at Hull as well as with Northern Ireland. Busy fella. Couldn't be done nowadays.

claretfern

There's a few. I will say Bilic at WBA.
