All time record, competitive games, up to and including Burnley 1 Luton 1.
P 5772, W 2255, D 1396, L 2121, F 8478, A 8317.

To the best of my knowledge, only two of Leighton James' 81 goals for Burnley were headers, and both were away from Turf Moor.

We require clean sheets in both of our remaining matches to beat the club record, which is 21, and, perhaps surprisingly, was set in 1980/81, when we finished 8th in Division 3 https://twitter.com/DLRbrts/status/1651557808104431619 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FuuB-3LWAAEWpq6?format=png&name=small

We have scored in 24 championship games in a row, only failing at Watford away. Keep it up clarets. Wonder what our record is? Or even the championship record? This team definitely feels like record breakers. To try and answer the original question, Burnley's longest sequence of scoring at least on...

I am not a programme collector, as such, but have accumulated many Burnley programmes, not a full set by any means, mainly from the late 1970s onwards. So although there would probably be some overlap, the ones from the 1960s era, especially, would certainly be of interest to me. What sort of donati...

It was a good game - very closely matched sides overall. Burnley were unlucky not to get a draw after hitting the woodwork from a save by the Everton 'keeper in the second half, and could also have had a penalty for a foul in the box in the dying seconds.

You can make one hell of a 5-a-side team from the former Burnley players who were born on this day (15th October)
Rather harsh to have ex-England international Paul Robinson on the bench, but Colin McDonald surely gets the starting berth.
