You said you were bored, but that's something else! How long did that take you?

It's a fascinating article. Good basis for a quiz as well - something on the lines of "if the teams and years are named, can you name the player"?

Had done the list before being stuck in the house but decided to write the article this afternoon.

I knew some of them but surprised there were so many in the end - some I'd never have thought of.

Tony --I was also surprised with some of the names because they had come through other youth systems before coming on loan to us.

Probably the ones I wouldn't have thought of were Kennerley, Deakin, Donowa & Walters. I did know a lot of them though.

I know he never was at Burnley but one player in the 1992 Man Utd time who had a big Clarets connection was Chris Casper, the son of Frank.
