How far out does it spread?

To the west - Lammack, Shadsworth and Wilpshire (I believe?).

Clues please?

I hope his injury is not as serious as first thought? His comments would indicate a lengthy period away from the game.

I must admit that I didn’t think he would ever play for Burnley again after the issues towards the end of the transfer window last September.

Part of the Union and Only want my love to grow in you are in my vinyl collection in the loft. Lay down was a good song performed live. Sadly another one gone from my teenage years. They can’t de use if he was 80 years old or 85?

Either way RIP Dave Cousins.

Ian Cox ?

I thought Jimmy Mullen was Allan Clarke played for Leicester with Rodrigues in 69 Final

You’ve got Rodrigues correct as playing for Leicester in their 1969 1-0 defeat by Man City.

beeholeclaret

Correct with John Sissons (far right) and the 1964 Cup Final.

As with ‘Haha Yeah’ above you are correct with Jimmy Mullen 3rd from right.

Fantham not on there.

Looks like Peter Rodrigues and Mick Channon to me

Can’t work out the connections tho

Peter Rodrigues is 2nd from the right.

He was known as ‘master of the slide tackle’. Man and ball in one go. He wouldn’t last 5 minutes tackling like that with today’s rules.

I think it's Peter Rodrigues top right, captained Southampton to FA Cup win.
Obviously Sheff Wed, but that's as far as I can go.

Edit, just realised Saints won the cup in the 70's, so might not be the correct answer.

Correct player. Try a different Cup Final year?

Wait, so the thread title should really be "Who isn't this?" ?

Yes youre probably right.

However if you insist - the answer is Simon from Wakefield.

Apologies for wasting your time with a "lookey likey" as Sean Dyche calls it!

We sat down to dinner and were asked if we minded sharing a table as the restaurant was busy. As the above couple sat down I immediately thought ‘here we go - a full evening of chatting about BFC and games from the late 1980’s’ How disappointing for me to be greeted by a Yorkshire accent as opposed ...

Got beaten at in the last home match that season by Coventry. We were already relegated, but David Cross was superb: hatrick. I can remember we were losing to Coventry in that last match of 1975-76 and I was heading for the exit at bottom of Beehole End as game was almost finished. I glanced back a...

Brilliant video and interesting views of the town and club in the early 1960’s.

Dave Thomas had a few penalties which were further away from the posts than I can remember from any other penalty kicks. Think he sliced one a long way wide at Cricket Field end against Crystal Palace(???). Another against Man City (0-4 defeat) when he ballooned his kick high into the Beehole End. T...

beeholeclaret

Got to be Peter Noble in so much as his was a ‘proper’ transfer where money exchanged hands.

I maybe wrong but I thought Dobo had been released by Bolton and he came to Burnley after his dad rang Harry Potts to arrange a trial. No arguing his immense ability and achievements though.

100 Laurents vs 1 Estève. Anyone done the simulation yet?

That wouldn’t work well because 89 Laurents would be knocking on the managers door because they’re unhappy at being on the bench ?

First game of the 2001/02 season played on a Sunday evening. Possibly the first live game on ITV digital.

Seem to remember Paul Cook scoring a penalty at Hillsborough in a 2-0 (?) win to get the season off to a good start.

Peter Noble - was it 28 out of 28. He did miss one once but the referee ordered a retake. His penalty kick at Cricket Field End was saved by Middlesbrough’s Jim Platt who dived low to his left to save Noble’s kick. Ref ordered a retake due to encroachment by Boro player and Uve’s miss was expunged ...

I met him in 1985, when my then girlfriend and I turned up on our " allocated on arrival " accommodation on Gozo. We struck gold, a three bedroom brand new apartment, with a 20 foot balcony overlooking the Med. There were only 6 apartments and the only other one occupied, had a large Mercedes parke...

Apparently he’s been a model pro and such a shame that he didn’t get the time on the field at Burnley. He was always a dangerous opponent and I was pleased when he joined our ranks. Sadly the injuries have taken their toll. Thanks for being a positive influence upon our younger players and I’m sure ...

Hahaha I think loosing at home to a team about to be relegated via a 97th min panenka and falling out of the European places absolutely qualifies as sh1tting the bed

I enjoyed a chuckle when reading this description. Can’t disagree with your explanation.

Just a week earlier Frank had masterminded a 3-2 Clarets win at WHL (I think in front of watching England boss Sir Alf Ramsey?).

A week or so later in the return at TM there was to be no repeat and Frank was crocked by Knowles) as teams fought out a 2-2 draw.

We were short of a couple of players. And then there was the sales ...... But that's all that stopped that side that came up winning a 1st Division title.

Even Doug Collins? He hated signing for anyone. Waldron once told him that one day no one would want his autograph to which Collins replied: "Good". Ha ha brilliant.

I was 21 when we won the league with that team - and they really were a very good side, the one problem was that we had a good team but hardly anything else behind that. Once Thomas had gone, we knew what the team was every week - Alan Stevenson, Mick Docherty, Keith Newton, Martin Dobson, Colin Wa...

Seeing Man City do the opposite with KDB, adds to the flavour.

Liverpool have just won the Prem League. City have had a poor season by their recent high standards.

He really didn't. He won nothing with an exceptional squad. And failed at the big hurdle every time with negative tactics. He was the luckiest coach there's every been when it comes to favourable draws. Neither the Italy or Spain teams that beat us in the finals will be remembered for much in the l...

Laughable , Kompany waltzes into a club who ALWAYS win the league, akin to celtic. Dyche had to secure our status for numerous seasons on peanuts comparatively. too many detractors, and simply not enough people acknowledging what a phenomenal job he did at Burnley.

Good game. Good game. (Said in Brucie voice).

Probably the most entertaining game at Tirf this season in my book.
