Going down to the Turf with a bounce in my step today. I feel we’ve got our team back.

If you know Alan and Graham you will probably know me I also went to the funeral and me and Graham grew up together and were best friend's, all three of us were friends and went to the same school. Me and Graham have known each from two years old we both lived opposite each other on Holbeck Street ...

ELO live at Wembley 2019, fantastic concert. Lived up to all our expectations, another ticked off the bucket list.

RIP Sir Tom. The young generation should remember him for decades, for the legacy he left.

The first series, her son Joe (the guy that's been set up with his girlfriend) was playing for a team against a Bolton team. The team were in the Burnley strip complete with badge and sponsor.

I'm going, however, my grandson whose eighteen doesn't want to go because it's only "The FA Cup!".
How things change, when I was eighteen the third round of the cup was probably one of the biggest games of the season.

Jimmy Robson scoring five against Forest.I was on that game (1959) as an eleven year old. Where the hell as the time gone.

Good morning Tony.
The kick off time on the under 23 fixture list gives a 1pm kick off. Can you confirm the Kick off time please.

Good thread this.

Tom Baker must have told that you will be loosing three key players through long term injuries, but do'nt worry, you'll still gain a European place.

Did he tell you we would take points from all the teams in the Premier League, except one, where you will be robbed of a point at the Turf.

Must be a Marney look a like, Deno is 4 star not 2 star

Thanks for that info Tony, don't want miss out on this one. Spending a few days with our granddaughter at Cardiff Uni.

Just bumping this to the top. Jordan is my nephew, a claret through and through, just like the rest of the family. Jordan is making a name for his self with the BBC after working with Rock FM in Preston. He is a season ticket holder in the Jimmy Mac upper with the rest of the family and gets to the ...

First time since my twenty's I haven't looked forward to a "69"

is there any place that is accessible to see where it all was, or is it just streets and new build housing. Not sure of the location at present, but if you can access the canal at Bolton -le-sands and find the swivell bridge, look out towards the coast and the site of the camp school is directly in...

Rats_cle

I can recommend a visit, park at Bolton-le-sands and walk along the canal towards Carnforth, some amazing properties to view.

Oh yes, and don't forget to write your name on Jumbo Rock ( felt tip markers weren't invented in the early sixties.)

Rats_cle

I also remember it as Jumbo Rock, we all scratched our names on it with sharp pebbles. (This is frightening, I Remember this but I can't remember what I had for breakfast)

Rats_cle

It was actually in Bolton-le Sands. It now has a very nice housing estate on the site. Spent two trips there in the early sixties. Good memories.

Brilliant broadcaster, Saturday mornings have not been the same since he finished (was it January).

RIP Brian.

Good night pop picker.

Thanks Pete. Book under North.

Hi Pete, Park View.

Hi Pete. Any chance you could put 3 16 year olds on a reserve list. I usually take them but can't make it now. Thanks in anticipation.

Whittlefeild Infants, Lionel Street Juniors and finally Barden. Left in July 1963, and then started my education.

I can remember when we (supporsidly) changed to metric, my wife asked the green grocer for a pound of sprouts, he replied they're kilos now. She replied, " sorry I'll have a pound of kilos".

It is Billy, a good friend of mine, unfortunately I lost touch with him. He came back to Burnley after he finished playing professional football and worked at Michelin. He eventually went back to Hartlepool where I lost touch. I later found out that he came back to Burnley to look up old friends. Ho...

Not Peter McKay, definitely Billy Marshall.

Looks good, will pop down tomorrow and have a look.
Well done Tony and thanks for posting the pics.

There's also the knock on effect from that decision, its also robbed the teams in the frame for the title of two points.

I think this is actually a tongue in cheek post Bfcis4me

Can't believe no ones mentioned a local lad: John Connelly, FA Cup runners up medal, English championship medal and World Cup winners medal.

Excellent article CT.
Brian was always a nice person to have a chat with, on the few occasions I met him he also, always had a smile on his face.
I will make sure my grandson reads the article, just to support the stories I've told him about the "Glory Years"

Rats_cle

Willy Irvine, Burnley's best ever goal scorer (in my opinion).
I can recommend his biography, it truly shows the ups and downs of his life as a footballer and a local businessman, going from the top to the very bottom and then picking himself back up.

Rats_cle

Some of the names mentioned previously I personally could take or leave, but this one has certainly cuased a spark. As said earlier, "the perfect signing". However I'm prepared to be disappointed.

Happy birthday CT, not logged on yet?

Are you doing some research for an article by any chance?

I would like to see the full interview from Moyes, from those quotes he seems to have given up the ghost.
