I have that bus. If I remember rightly it had some fans sat on the top. My most treasured possession is my Burnley plaque celebrating the new millennium. I hung it over my grandads bedside when he was seriously ill in Blackburn hospital and gave it to my grandma when he died a short time after that. Unfortunately she passed away a few weeks back and while we were taking bags to the charity shop that same plaque was resting on top. I like to think it was their way of returning it to me and it now proudly hangs in my house.

I have now passed these down to my son, who has loaned them to Burnley Football Club historian Ray Simpson. They were my great great Grandads and passed down through the family, they cover 1800s to 1969 they are fascinating to read with all match reports including takings and storys like the guy who was thrown from a train and a player who we were duped in to buying from scotland who turned out to have never kicked a ball before

I do have a photo of a plane where one of the passengers is holding out a Burnley shirt. It's been on my wall for 4 years since my Dad passed away, but I'm still not sure where the hell it comes from.

I have a Burnley FC program dated Saturday, 12th April 1930. We played Liverpool and whoever bought the program (2d) wrote on the teams page 4 - 1 to the Clarets. I love to look through it and read everything, especially the advertisements.

The guy thrown off the train wasn't the manager, Whitaker, was it? If so would love to know the story.

Without doubt the claret and blue scarf my dad gave me on my 8th birthday when he took me on the Turf for the first time, beating Sheff Utd in October 1965. A bit the worse for wear nowadays, but then again so am I.

Dressinggown · Post by **Dressinggown** » Sat Aug 26, 2017 10:32 pm

My mum threw out some old newspapers.

They were every newspaper available on the Sunday following the Orient game in 1987.

There was a new tabloid on the scene at that time. It had a picture of Ian Britton celebrating his goal on the back page with a caption that said 'Nigel Cock scores Burnley's winner'.

I'm assuming that they were referring to Neil Grewcock who put us 1-0 up in the first half.

I'm assuming Eddie Shah was the new tabloid mogul.

My wife recently threw out my underpants that I wore at the Burnley v Stockpot County Play Off Final at Wembley in 1994.

Skids and all, I had been wearing them on a daily basis until we had a visit from the Environmental Health Department.

TWO framed photos:

1. A signed Ian Wright Photo, which I won in an auction at an early CM meal.

2. The signed and framed photo of our first ever Premier League squad. Only 100 of the photos were produced and they were all numbered. Each member of the Burnley squad was given their respective squad number. Clarke Carlisle was in my dad's form group throughout his time at high school in Leyland. He returned to give a speech at their awards night and donated his photo to an auction. My dad won the auction and gave me the photo. It's cracking, but does contain Judas!

I don't know. The only information I have about it is that the player was primarily in the reserves that season and may have been called/had the nickname Jock. It's a wonderful piece of history with lots of newspaper cuttings from the different games, many autographs, tickets and a programme from the final. If anyone wants to have a look at it I would be happy to organise something when I am next back in E Lancs (most likely early Oct).
