I’m told Sean Gotto is the goalkeeper to the left of the three. To be honest I would never have got that.Steve1956 wrote:Those two keepers either side of the big one look like midgets

No they just looked older... Tony Morley, Billy Rod and Flynn for example, where all only coming to the end of their careers when they returned in the late 80’s /90’s.TVC15 wrote:My favourite strip too - and the first (and only !) one my mum and dad ever bought for me
Looking at that side - do they just look older ? I’ve played against the ex Claret veterans team a couple of times and most of them looked younger than that team ! Got to be an average age of well into 30s surely !

Buchan must have had serious doubts regarding his ability to make that transition from player to manager. The two year contract he was offered remained unsigned and just 110 days after his appointment he quit.ClaretTony wrote:About four months

Must be the briefest managerial career of all time. Hard to believe Martin will now be 70 years old, seems like only yesterday he was here at Burnley but he was 36 at the time.ClaretTony wrote:Couldn't manage for the same reason he had to finish playing though
He said he was bitterly disappointed by his decision to quit but, however hard he tried, he was unable to make the transition into management. Hope all is well with him now.

Re: Burnley F C in pictures
Very strange man. He saw me one day walking down the road outside the ground and spent around 45 minutes talking to me. A week later, same scenario and he blanked me. The bloke was in a mess and we should never have given him the job in the first place.Royboyclaret wrote:Must be the briefest managerial career of all time.

Great pic of Ralphy, all about blood, sweat and tears and how he always gave his last ounce of effort in every game.
Shot of the ground looks to be dated in the early 80's with the sloping back of the Bee Hole End.

Early 80s - the sloping back of the Bee Hole End disappeared in the 1960s and the pic is definitely pre 1968 because the old cricket field end is thereRoyboyclaret wrote:Great pic of Ralphy, all about blood, sweat and tears and how he always gave his last ounce of effort in every game.

Aye, on closer inspection CT has it because the new CFS opened in August 1969.tim_noone wrote:CT has it....
In fact the last game for the CF terracing was December 1967.

Re: Burnley F C in pictures
Go even further than that - the gym isn’t there at the back of the Longside. When was that built? I’m sure it was around 1961.
Re: Burnley F C in pictures
I mean the Beehole was extended in 1970, not when the photo was taken.

Bee Hole extension was slightly earlier than that.cbx750 wrote:I mean the Beehole was extended in 1970, not when the photo was taken.
Lot of clues there - it's the old cricket ground without the car park on one side and no sign of the new pavilion but the date of the pic has to be after the floodlights were erected (they are there) but before the gym was built, so I'd put the pic around 1959-1961.

Re: Burnley F C in pictures
Looks like lots of excavation work looking at the back of the longside and right round to the back of the Beehole end so looks like work as just been done on one of the terraces
And if you look at the top of the Beehole end it appears they are putting the rest of the shuttering in for the concrete steps

Re: Burnley F C in pictures
Agreed a fantastic victory that day with great goals scored as well but tarnished by Bill Shankly saying afterwards that the game should never have been played because the state of the pitch although he said nothing before the game, couldnt take a defeat although outplayed all the game . Seems things don't change with all Klopps whinging in the past couple of seasonsRoyboyclaret wrote:Steve, great memories last forever. That win against Liverpool was very special, Irvine scored the first with the best header I've ever seen from the edge of the box and then Ralphy ran almost the length of the pitch before lobbing the ball over Tommy Lawrence for the second.

Good pic of Budgie Burridge in a turtle-neck shirt in front of the old Spion Kop at Blackpool stood on that terrace a good few times in the past.
And yes good to see Admiral Redbeard back on board, although if you are High I expect to see some rampling posts, with smiley faces
