A few over the years, but the outstanding one has to be Tottenham away in Dec.'60. We'd played away at Rheims in the European Cup three days earlier and quickly went 0-4 down at White Hart Lane. We found some legs and courage from somewhere and goals from Connelly(2), Pointer & Robson gave us a 4-4 ...

Just a little bit more on that. Our matchday Income for season 2017/18 of £5.6million represented just 4% of our Total Income of £139million.

The equivalent figure at Real Madrid was 19%, 143million euros within a Total Income of 751million euros.

What an occasion this must have been back in 1914, over 100 years ago, not just for our winning team but for the thousands of Burnley supporters who travelled down to London.

What a film! Good stuff. Who was the Burnley man knocked out by the ball, blocking a shot with his face? Ilike the way they rushed to him and yanked him to his feet. Concussion protocols aren't what they were. What an amazing film. The Burnley player who takes one in the face is George Halley. A pr...

Plenty of goals as was the norm between these two sides at the time. But the key from our point of view was the win which ended a poor spell of results and kickstarted our season.

Superb team photo there of the 1920/21 side that went 30 games unbeaten in Division One.

The 1954 Leicester programme at the top of the preview is intriguing me.

Look at the state of the pitch in the first photo, looks like the tide has just gone out. Is it Turf Moor ?

A good point at Tottenham but we were still looking for that elusive to find consistency in both results and performance.

Three more great photos W_C_Z.

On closer inspection of our shirts maybe it's the close season tour of Germany in 1929 ?

The very last photo is fascinating me. Is this from our European tour in May 1914 following our FA Cup win ?

Surely that has to be Jerry Dawson our keeper with the most ever appearances for our Club ?

Unbelievable pic.

I thought Hendrick was superb against Narch but, (yes there's a but).

From my memory Alex clearly lost Finney from the corner, but then quickly recovered to give a man of the match performance.
