..as has been said, an old fashioned Left Winger. He once said he had no time for tactics, just ran with the ball to the by-line and crossed it. He was very effective. Bill Shankly once said something along the lines of: " this is how we're going to play boys......Peter - you may as well go as you n...

We should have moved on, player wise, when SA left; the fact that we haven't says much as to why he would have got games here this season. He would, however, have made little difference to things this season, imo.

claretfern

It's the old story isn't it? - Entertainment v. Results. Fans are quite happy to watch when the tactics are dull but we get the right result (it's been the case here, in the main, for some time) but once the results aren't going our way, it's only natural that some fans become anxious (like now) It'...

Hart, Mee & Cork.

His time is up. It happens. Remember the good times.

I heard a rumour Ward was off to Glasgow Rangers in the January window.....

1-1...just can't see us getting a win atm.

Some really good ideas given here. Very commendable and sensible. I think many are taking such steps to remove all the stress out of it.

John Murray...maybe not one season, but for a period in 1968, he came from our Reserves to gain England u23 recognition, then faded away as quickly as he came.

......they're slowly killing this historic competition.

There's one more room now available at the Lowry Hotel !

If jbg isn't fit, Lennon to play.
Vokes for Wood.

...ah..it's about gaming, etc....thought it might be a prospect we're looking at from abroad. Apologies

Hart
Long Tarks Gibson
JBG Defour Westwood Hendrick McNeil
Vydra Vokes

claretfern

Wouldn't matter who we have up front, the way we set up and the poor service on offer. Our style would kill any potential a striker may have.

claretfern

...yes, he will continue to bang that square peg in that round hole all the way to the Championship.

.....and to think, KRBFC was getting pelters on here a while back for saying much of what's being said now......

2-0 Burnley.

Hope the Manager makes some changes (but I suspect the line up will not change too much)
Good luck to the lads. We need it.

Wasn't there an opportunity for him to go to Leeds before we signed him? Bet he's kicking himself now, although he wanted Premier League football I believe. Looks like he was a signing to appease the fans, imo.

A tense 1-1....no good for either side.

Denis Violett was mentioned in the narrative on the Lancashire Schools FA piece I read last night. Denis passed away in Florida in 1999.

Abel Street School mentioned below the film when looking on YouTube

claretfern

Managed to find Lancashire Schools FA on Google which mentions a game at Turf Moor on 10th November 1949, between Lancashire & Yorkshire schoolboys. Says it was the first schoolboy game to be broadcast live on radio. Maybe it's this??

Just been on BBC North West News. Fair play to the club. The children seemed to enjoy the trip.

Didn't know, until today, that Emily Atacks' mum is Kate Robbins.

Robert Dougall was another I remember from the BBC.

Just read Peter Crouch - How to be a Footballer. Not an autobiography, more a lighthearted look at today's modern footballers.

Bought Barry Powell's house (off Lakeland Way) following his short stay with us.

claretfern

I would expect the successful candidate to be spending most of his time anywhere but Burnley ( and hopefully some of his time abroad)

claretfern

Seems so loaded against us, re our current form and the emotion, but the tide must surely turn sometime. I'll go for a 2-1 win against all the odds.
I'll be disappointed if it's another good hiding.

Gary Stevens Everton
Gary Stevens Tottenham
Must have been confusing when they both played together for England ( not to mention Trevor Steven!) especially when Bobby Robson was in charge! He once called Bryan Robson 'Bobby'....who replied 'no boss, you're Bobby - I'm Bryan' !!!!

Also saw it last night. Agree with OP...much better than I expected.

When I googled it, I was amazed to learn that there are still 80 Wimpeys trading in the UK !! I haven't seen one in years .... From the responses, either Burnley had two Wimpeys, or the one on St James St. moved into the Market Sq. at some point ?? I would say it moved at some point. I remember the...

'In' for now, but it feels like the beginning of the end for him.

Maybe, but the captain we ended up with wasn't bad... Of course, Bobby Moore was an excellent player. Given that DE was reputed to have been able to play anywhere, it might have been that both he and Moore would have been a defensive partnership with Jack Charlton missing out? All ifs and maybe's I...

Would have probably been England's Captain in the '66 World Cup.....

Tarks reminds me of him. Thinking looks and build maybe(?) not as a footballer. (DE was exceptional, I believe...)
