72. First game 1959 v Everton at home First Division Championship season. Won 5-2. Think we’d do them by a similar score if we played them now

Re: How many old 'uns/over 60's post on here?
Quite a few of us born in 1952. I was 71 in January.
Do I feel it? Body feels 91 to be honest although I have walked over two miles this morning. Head feels nothing like and that’s how I’d like it to stay for a good while longer.
First game October 1960 v Man U. Won 5-3.

This old git was 73 earlier this year. First visit to TM in late 1956 to see Clarets v Leeds (who played in blue & gold back then pre-Revie). Me and dad walked the mile to TM and stood in th'enclosure and I loved the whole experience- sounds/smells/excitement etc.

I’ve misjudged you. Having read your posts I thought you were 7.4.
Re: How many old 'uns/over 60's post on here?
Good to see there’s a wide age group on here. Difficult to tell whether you are replying to a 20 year old or a 70 year old sometimes. Think it makes for a better board with diverse opinions and different experiences to share.
Re: How many old 'uns/over 60's post on here?
71 and feeling it at times
First game 1959 and hooked

Re: How many old 'uns/over 60's post on here?
I'm the ripe old age of 69 and being born in Yorkshire I'm a bit of a glory hunter, jumping onto the back of us winning the 1st division back in 1960. I didn't get to see us play though until 1965. First game at Leeds, Willie Irvine scored in a 1-1 draw. I have a program from every game I've been to so have a complete record of all the games I've been to. Living in Yorkshire and then moving down to the Midlands over 40 years ago has restricted my games attended some seasons but following Burnley has always been my passion. I've watched Burnley 1309 times to date which is an average of 22 games a season. This season has been one of the best I've seen. It's a shame it has to end. UTC.

I’m almost 63 and have the odd aches and pains here and there. Still manage to get myself up to Burnley every home game on public transport and several away games.
Slightly overweight but fairly fit. Cycled the length of the Rhine last year. 6 countries, 853 miles. Doing the Danube next year from Black Forest in Germany to Budapest. Similar distance.

66 in June.
Retired last July, but do a comfy part time job 2 nights a week for the hell of it.
Enjoy 12 - 15 mile walks up Dales or Lakes, as often as I can. Plus 4 young grandchildren, you can't help but feel 21.

I turn 60 this December, my first game was West Ham away on 23rd August 1975 ...
Lovely to be able to post on this thread, apart from the Marks & Spencer Food Hall, there's not many places I can go where my presence lowers the average age !

69 until September. Still play walking football for an hour (~7.5-8.5k steps per session) two or, occasionally, three days per week, can carry my 4 year old grandson around on my shoulders as we walk around Cotswold Wildlife Park (14k steps), despite being 24 stones and never having had any Bionic Man upgrades installed. I'm SPECIAL, at least that's what they said about me at the school I used to attend

Re: How many old 'uns/over 60's post on here?
Just gone 76 and first went on in 1951 and my parents took me on as a little nipper in the mid fifties. I remember the pre-great team with McDonald, Aird, Winton, Newlands, Shannon, Seith etc. I started going on full time in the 57/58 season and saw the likes of Pointer, Connelly, Elder come into the team. I was a season ticket holder from 1960 (I think) until 2018, which I gave up due to not getting back to Burnley from Spain to make a st worthwhile. I have enjoyed this season more than nearly all of all the other seasons, the football, the team, the manager, the board have done an incredible job.
Re: How many old 'uns/over 60's post on here?
68, will be 69 in June. First game was in November 1961 but my first recollection of an established team was in 1963/64

66. First game away at them down the road in '63. Won 2-1 (Connelly (2)). Living in America since '82 so it's been hard to keep up until inter web showed up.
Play Pickleball 5 days a week, golf two days a week, lift weights / ride Peloton 3-4 days a week. Everything seems to be working OK as of now.

69 and first game 1962 vs Everton, 2goals for Ray Pointer.
Thought for the day for the OAP's....oh Ive forgotten...no Ive just rememberred again..I go to a shop that gives a Pensioners Discount most times, if they do then that is great but if they don't I never remind them because I presume they think I look younger than I really am which is even better!

most people think footy forums are full of young folks, you certainly don't associate people in and around 70 with being on the internet much so without wanting to sound patronizing in any way shape or form you are all an absolute credit to yourself and long may you continue on here !

Re: How many old 'uns/over 60's post on here?
74 and my first match was on 21 November 1959 when Jimmy Robson scored 5 (five). My father took me on and it was the only game we attended together, the mill he worked at had closed and he was buying a corner shop which meant he would be working on Saturdays henceforth.
