As above but O'Neill and Waldron replacing McGreal and Mee.

Geoff Nulty, Ralph Coates, John Angus, Nick Pope and David Eyres as subs.

Blacklaw.
Angus
Newton.
ONeil
Waldron
Tarkowski
Dobson.
Morgan
Lochhead
Irvine
Coates.

Impact sub.. Kindon.
Nulty sub for versatility.

Wouldn't want to get on wrong side of a partnership between Tarkowski and Waldron.

Blacklaw, Angus, Elder, O'Neil, Miller, Todd, Morgan, Lochhead, Irvine, Harris, Coates. In fact, the only BFC team I can reel off fast without thinking. The 1965/66 team which finished third.

I saw him play full back and centre back and I'm sure he was sent up front in desperation. I believe he had a spell in midfield at Sunderland.

I'm not sure what he was like as a goalkeeper or winger though.

Unfortunately I'm restricted by the rules because he was my only favourite player.

Good line up but if I can make one tweak there, I would replace Colin Waldron with Graham Branch.

Not really the point. Clearly Steven Defour was a better player than Adrian Randall. But Randall was my favourite!

Sorry hipper maybe I should have said ‘favourite player in each position historically’

Andy Farrell a player who played in every position (including goal when the keeper was sent off/injured) during his time at Burnley if memory serves

I think as long as Mee is in, doesn't matter about other defenders really

If not for big Billy, Roger may have got in my team. He found his home here- in his career he played for 13 clubs. Only played around 150 games in total and scored 22 goals. 99 of the games and 20 of the goals were for Burnley!
