Thoughts with the Irvine family as the legend and gentleman passes Turf Moor for the last time. RIP Willie Irvine

Thanks to Herts for this - i've just forwarded the pic to Ray's son - he'd never seen it before and was made up to receive it Glad I could help. Ray Deakin was one of the few shining lights during our darkest years, along with the likes of Grewcock, Ian Britton and Taffy. He captained the side for ...

How did i overlook one of the finest left backs of the 1980s? No not the late Ray Deakin but next to him is Kenny Sansom

Cheers, Herts.
Can see Mark on the back row. I'll show him when I see him next.

Erm.... are you on there ??

I would have been 5 or 6 when this photo was taken! Even in my prime I was nothing more than an enthusiastic amateur who made up for limited ability with 100% commitment.

Original photo

Well done. I thought it would take a bit longer, especially with the poor resolution of the photo. In a team with Mark Higgins and Kevin Mabbutt amongst others

As it by magic....RIP

More than happy with this signing. Big, quick, physical and mobile. It's the player profile we have missed in the Premier League. Just waiting for the speed singers to try and come up with a song for his name.

Who was it that passed Joe Gallagher's medical? Doc Iven?

Ightenhill_Claret, if you are in contact with Jimmy, please say hello to him, from the fan who always gave him a bag of Wine(win gums we called them) Gums at every away game. They even got mentioned by a commentator on a Sky game. Sharon may remember, I gave her a bunch of my home grown Chrysanthem...

Thank you for all the lovely tributes to my dad & hero. He's now at peace from that awful disease x

Your Dad is at peace Darren. Great player. Great bloke. We will never see his like at Burnley again. I feel privileged to have known him when I did. RIP Willie Irvine. A legend.

Herts Clarets

Too young to have seen him play. Absolutely privileged to have met him most home games in the Guest Bar mid 90s with his son Darren. I know he has not been well for some time now but always sad to hear one of our greats leave us. RIP Willie Irvine.

Herts Clarets

I can't think of a former manager who would get a better reception at the Turf than Jimmy.

Herts Clarets

Amazed he lasted as long as he did given his lifestyle. RIP Ozzy

Herts Clarets

Ex Liverpool, Chelsea and Wrexham has died aged 70. Great player for the 1970s Liverpool side. I remember a game at Wrexham, Jones is on the near post defending a corner. My mate shouts Joey Jones you're a w***er. Cheers mate replies Joey.

The same Lee Dixon who was then given away by Chester.

Didn't he openly admit he didn't knuckle down until he went to Bury and then was signed by Stoke?

I was thinking surely one of our wins at BollEwood would take it. Then I remembered they haven't seen Premier League football for 15 years

Where did you get that photo from, out of interest?

I found it on FB. I think he is friends with Winston White.

Herts Clarets

It's ex loan 'striker' David Jones. 6 foot 3 until a cross came into the box when he was 5 foot 6. And of course returned to the Turf playing centre half for Doncaster and promptly scored the winner

And also with a member of an American TV band?

I believe so

Herts Clarets

I will give a clue. He shares a name with another ex Claret who was far more successful than our subject.

Not Winston White or Massanka. Or Ian Cox

Not Regis, Cole, Johnrose, Hyde or Eli

Not Gifton or N'Koudou

Watch John Deary after York score. Heads are down walking back for the kick off and you can see John saying ' it's only f****ng one'

For the princely sum of £33 a ticket i saw Blossoms and Stereophonics last night at Finsbury Park. Both bands were excellent. There were a couple other support acts earlier but I got stuck in the pub

In the canteen at work in Welwyn Garden City is a book case and people bring in books they no longer want for others to take and read. I walked past it this morning and something caught my eye sitting on top of the books.....

Another lost to the dreadful MND. I saw the same person Tony refers to lose his life to MND, so hard to see someone who had a larger than life personality slowly lose the battle against MND. RIP Syd

Don't think I've ever seen a ref order a penalty retake in my time watching Burnley. Must be pretty rare events Dennis Tueart took 3 penalty kicks for Man City in 1976 at the Turf. First was saved, second scored but ordered to retake due to encroachment and third hit the post. Game finished 0-0. Wa...

Very good ref. I used to do drinks for the refs room in match days and spoke to him a couple of times a well as coming into the bar after the game for a drink. Physically imposing bloke who exuded authority but by the same token a thoroughly decent bloke who i found easy to talk to. RIP ref
