I could say the photo doesn't do him justice but it actually does him too much justice. He looked like an hold has been that day.

He should have retired after Reading but a great player for us.

He’ll always be in my top five Burnley players I’ve seen play.

[Cirrus_Minor]

Playing wider than usual as well.

Must be Biesla sat down on a cool box on the touchline?

Or does someone else do similar?

[matttheclaret]

Brilliant player for us.

On his day (there was certainly plenty of them) he was easily the best player outside the PL

East 17 on the bench

[longsidetrumpet]

The two lads right got b*llocked by the coach later for acting daft

Anyone mentioned the Bristol Rovers goal yet?
Brilliant player.

Used to love going to reserve games in the 60's. Two buses from Haslingden with my dad or brother and then 90 mins. of good football from some rising stars. All four sides of the ground open too Always a bonus when the tannoy informed us of a positive scoreline involving the first team. Heady days!

I still have a pile of those single sheet programmes from the reserve games somewhere. (Central League, it was called then, if i remember right.).

I used to stand on the old paddock in those days, the forerunner of the Bob Lord, sometimes upstairs, the old Brunshaw Road stand.
