Last Burnley goalscorer of the 20th century

[ClaretTony]

I think many will know the answer is Andy Payton who scored all three in a 3-2 home win against Oxford. Payts also scored our first goal of the 21st century too at Chesterfield.

But who was the last player to score a league goal for Burnley in the 20th century who did NOT go on to score for us in the 21st century.

[Vintage Claret]

Ian Wright?

[ClaretTony]

Ian Wright?

He scored all his goals after the millenium - didn't sign for us until 2000

[Vintage Claret]

Alan Lee?

[ClaretTony]

Alan Lee?

His only goal was in the AutoWindscreens although it was late 1999

[Bosscat]

Mickey Mellon?

[Devils_Advocate]

Don't know but the way the world is going Chris Wood could be the last Burnley player to score for us in the 21st century!!

Was it the great man Lennie Johnrose ?
Or Gordon Armstrong ?

Thought at first it might have been Ronnie “the closer” Jepson but he scored later on in that season in the year 2000.

[Im_not_Robbie_Blake]

Didn't we beat someone 4-2 with goalscorers Ronnie Jepson and John Mullin in the December? If so, it would be Mullin I think.

Johnrose & Armstrong both scored in 21st century

as did Mullin

Could it possible be Nick Pickering.

[Goobs]

Stab in the dark. Jamie Hoyland?

[Tall Paul]

Could it possible be Nick Pickering.

I doubt it, but it could be Ally Pickering.

[claretonthecoast1882]

Ronnie Jepson ?

[ClaretTony]

I doubt it, but it could be Ally Pickering.

It is Ally Pickering - scored at Stoke in April 1999, his only Burnley goal.

[mdd2]

Trialist?

[Tall Paul]

It is Ally Pickering - scored at Stoke in April 1999, his only Burnley goal.

And what a goal it was.

I think most of the credit should go to ashtonlongsider for that answer, to be fair.

I think so - he just got the wrong Christian name.

[ashtonlongsider]

Ha Ha. Forgive me but think I must have had an obsession with Nick Pickering. However in these challenging times I think I deserve at least half a point

[ChrisG]

Mickey Mellon?

Have you forgotten about that rocket at Scunny the day we went up?!

[BOYSIE31]

It is Ally Pickering - scored at Stoke in April 1999, his only Burnley goal.

[TVC15]

That was a brilliant goal indeed from Ally.
As for Nick I don’t think he could kick it that far.

Watching Nick Pickering play in a 2-0 away defeat at Leeds Road - Huddersfield’s old ground - in 40 years of watching Burnley I am struggling to think of a worse performance than his that day....mostly because he just could not be bothered to try

[Bosscat]

Have you forgotten about that rocket at Scunny the day we went up?!

No I realised after I had posted Chris....

[ChrisG]

No I realised after I had posted Chris....

2 cracking goals that day, but Little's remembered more because it was the winner I reckon, and right in front of the away end

Just like Ian Britton's is always remembered against Orient and Trevor Meredith's against Man City I suppose
