I've only really followed the clarets since 2001 so my choices are a bit limited! These are genuinely the first players i think of and are very random.

1 Tom Heaton
2 Dean West
3 Charlie Taylor
4 Jack Cork
5 Clarke Carlisle
6 Ben Mee
7 Glen Little
8 Dean Marney
9 J-Rod
10 Robbie Blake
11 Wade Elliott

CoolClaret · Post by **CoolClaret** » Tue May 16, 2023 12:54 pm

1) Tom Heaton
2) Dean West
3) Charlie Taylor
4) Micky Mellon
5) Steve Davis
6) Ben Mee
7) Glen Little
8) Dean Marney
9) Chris Wood
10) Danny Ings
11) Wade Elliot

Literally did first to come to mind - I think I remember Dean West, Micky Mellon & Steve Davis as 4/5 because I can't recall another time having numbers 2, 4, 5 the starting rb & cbs at the same time since I started going on

Can't remember when 1 to 11 was challenged by squad numbers but I would go for
1 Adam Blacklaw( though he never wore a number on his jersey)
2 John Angus
3 Alex Elder
4 Brian O'Neil
5 Colin Waldron
6 Brian Miller
7 Willie Morgan
8 Jimmy Mc
9 Willie Irvine
10 Ralph Coates
11 Gordon Harris/ Leighton James. Still can't decide.

9: Vokes
10: Payton

Rowls · Post by **Rowls** » Tue May 16, 2023 4:01 pm

This is skewed in my head towards the days when we wore 1-11 although some newcomers have usurped places in recent years

1 Heaton
2 Dean West
3 Les Thomson
4 Steve Davis
5 John Pender
6 Warren Joyce
7 Glen Little
8 Dean Marney
9 Andy Payton
10 Barnes
11 Weller

Some of these players might never have worn these numbers. It's a decent enough side, even if those fullback positions look a little dodgy.

Interesting how numbers evoke memories of players who - although they played in the role ‘typified’ by that number - never actually wore it

Eg Blake never wore 10 for BFC (8 and 20)
Other names on peoples lists include Briscoe Marney McNeil and Barton associated with numbers they never wore for the Clarets (although potentially for other clubs)

I based mine on players having these as squad numbers so didn’t go for anyone prior to their introduction in 1999.

I'm sorry but I think this is cause for serious action from the moderators of this board. To have Joe Neenan in any Burnley side that includes Ralph Coates, Colin Waldron, Steve Kindon and Leighton James is football's equivalent of heresy and blasphemy. Action required! Where is the Spanish Inquisition when you really need it.

lewishamclaret · Post by **lewishamclaret** » Wed May 17, 2023 6:31 pm

Funny how your very early years of watching the Clarets inform an instinctive name for each number, even if some of them hardly ever appeared for us. So for me

1. Alan Stevenson
2. Tony Arins (wtf?)
3. Ian Brennan
4. Peter Noble
5. Jim Thompson
6. Billy Rodaway
7. Brian Flynn
8. Billy Ingram
9. Billy Hamilton
10. Steve Kindon

11. Don’t know

Actually, quite a few appearances for most players. But Tony Arins came to mind before Derek Scott!

Strangly, I can name many of the teams from early sixties to the 72/73 team without thinking, but would struggle to name many of the later teams that have been successful. Obviously be able to name this seasons team(s) but doubt if I could repeat this without much thinking in a year or two like I can with the earlier teams.

It's obviously an age thing

It was teams then rather than squads so much easier. For example, in 1972/73, once Thomas was sold with everyone fit, it was Stevenson, Docherty, Newton, Dobson, Waldron, Thomson, Nulty, Casper, Fletcher,Collins, James. Sub: Ingham.
