5's not nearly enough LL, there's the League Championship winning squad from 1959-60 for a KIck off

Apologies - I should have stated who you have seen grace the Turf

bobinho · Post by **bobinho** » Sat May 20, 2017 8:02 am

Peter noble
Billy Hamilton
Robbie Blake
John mcgreal
Michael duff

That's just my thoughts today. Tomorrow three of them would change. The only ever presents would be Noble and Hamilton.

THIS is difficult!

Order is impossible and the fact that I`ve been away from the UK since 2003 waters down some of the players post that year (the internet and live streams DOES help...alleluia!).

Suppose it all depends on which era your from really

For me it's he following

David Eyres
Glen Little
Robbie Blake
Joey Barton
Steve Davis ( if only he had pace )

Frenchclaret · Post by **Frenchclaret** » Sat May 20, 2017 11:36 am

Just to be different :
From my boyhood. Jimmy McIlroy, Colin McDonald, Tommy Cummings, PeterMcKay, John Connelly.

From more mature years, after I had left Burnley and saw the Clarets much less.
Robbie Blake, Glen Little, Willie Morgan, Marlon Beresford, Keith Newton

I hope someone (the OP perhaps) collates all the votes and works out the five most popular.

Must admit that I had a real soft spot for Branch (not in that way!). He was the George Boyd MK -1.

I wanted to put Randall in there but that would have been the heart and the head said Blake.

Leighton James: When he ripped England a new one in 1980 I laughed out loud.

John Deary: He grabbed hold of our club by the scruff of its neck and dragged it up off it's arse.

Robbie Blake: First real bit of class we'd had in years.

David Jones: Totally unsung, still doesn't get the recognition he deserves.

Tom Heaton: The catalyst, in my opinion, of everything we've achieved and still are achieving.

Robbie Blake
Dean Marney
Mike Duff

edit: really really hard to pick just five. These guys were all instrumental to our side at the times they played (or play) though - they've all been parts of promotion winning teams. I thought about Peter Noble, Kindon, Hamilton, Steven, Tony Morley as well as Blake, Eyres and a whole slew of others who could be in tere. I too have a soft spot for Ady randall - what a player he might have been.

I used to dread him getting the ball...... but occasionally he'd smash one home

Geoff Nulty - unsung hero. We were never the same after we sold him.
Jim Thomson - he knew how to defend.

Again, favourites but not necessarily the best..

Tripps
Rodriguez
Little
Mee
Payton

Edit- Eyres misses by a whisker, There's also Heath, Pender and McMinn, although I was perhaps a little young to say they were my favourites.
