I don't know but I can remember it

Just googled it. Made by the Turog Brown Bread Company and was a competitor to Hovis. Turog means sleep in Filipino !!!!!!!!

A good point against a strong Wednesday side and by now we were playing with so much more confidence.

Turog bread bloody hell yeah .....

Funny how a comment brings memories flooding back

I've just done some googling and it's confirmed the one thing I did remember that the T & G were in bigger letters than the URO

As for Wednesday, very uncompromising side and tough to play against

They certainly were...none more so than Peter Swan. Didn't he end up in prison and banned from football?
Certainly remember Turog bread...my mothers regular bread order being two Oddies best white and a Turog loaf! Mr McNamnee, the Magistrate, was our next door neighbour so his name was often mentioned if my sisters and I weren't doing as we were told.
Not many players came out best shoulder charging Adam Blacklaw!

And not averse to the odd bit of match fixing!!! (Or did that come later?? )
PS. I remember Turog bread too!!

Tony Kay also played. He, like Swan, was sent down for the bribery scandal.

As did centre forward David Layne who was the one to approach Swan and Kay to throw the game against Ipswich in early December 1962. Ipswich won the game 2-0. Kay was transferred to Everton later that month and helped them to win the First Division title that season. Burnley were seven points, I think, behind Everton at the season's end.

Layne, Swan and Kay were each given 4 month sentences at trial much later in 1965 and on release each received a lifetime ban from football, although that ban was lifted on appeal some seven years later.

Layne wasn't playing in this game which is why I didn't include him. The other two were damn good players though, both England internationals and Swan would probably have been the centre half in the World Cup in 1966. He returned to play against Burnley in the 1970s at Hillsborough and when he run towards the Leppings Lane end ahead of kick off, the Burnley fans were all waving pound notes (and pound notes dates it).

Just the once, I think, in our promotion season of '72/'73, by which time he was already 36 years old.

And I remember Veget bread. One of my.memories of this era was going to the local shop after school on Friday to buy a couple of loaves for us before being sent to the 'chippy' for our regular Friday night tea.
As for banned players in the 60's along with the Sheff Wed. players the Bristol Rovers goalkeeper, Edmond Million was also found guilty of match fixing.
