Four-year deal too. I’d have thought a rarity for a League 1 club???

Thanks, the name Raymond Ashley does ring a bell. Ferg had a massive influence on my taste in music as well and still does to this day, I currently listen to ‘Soul Radio UK’ on the Roku app, I also morphed towards hardcore Mississippi Blues and Chicago Blues. We’d play Subbuteo at his house, had a ...

Ferg’s mates back then included a lad called Mick who must have lived on Brunshaw Road near you and a lad called Alan Paul

I had a pal on either Ullswater Rd or Buttermere Rd, I forget which one. Name was Ray, used nickname ‘Butch’, no idea why :lol: Myself and my pal Arthur Fergus would go to Ray’s house and listen to Radio Caroline and Radio Luxemburg. Thirlmere Rd, the access road, was pretty well opposite our house...

Subs? The other 24 senior players?

Doctors Griffiths, now I remember that name, they must have been our family doctors, not Dr. Iven. Man, I’m losing it :roll: Yes, I’m aware Dr. Iven lived not far from us at Lodge House, it’s currently up for sale, can be yours if you have 461,000 quid hanging around :shock: Google is my friend :lo...

I remember Dr. Iven, he was our family doctor. Wasn’t his practice on Todmorden Road, not far from Tod Rd Primary School? When I first saw Doc Iven as a kid he practised out of a terraced row on Brunshaw Road (‘Kelly’s Row’) at Pike Hill, before moving to the upstairs room of a cottage where the Pi...

Nearly all these obscure players fit into the ‘ahh, now you mention him’ category for me. But one player already named is somebody I had to look up recently after his name cropped up somehow, I had absolutely no memory of him - Stanislav Varga, central defender who came to us on loan in early 2008 f...

Did he mention Pike Hill Bombers?

longsidetrumpet

It’s a yes from me for Billing

Was being serious about Worrall he doesn’t make your subs bench!!! I was being less serious about mystery man Sambo

Where’s Worrall and Sambo?

My first recollection was a Taskers selves service store on Westgate, in the fifties. I vividly remember it being between Ashfield Rd and Clifton St That’s the one I remember, definitely self service and probably late 50s/early 60s. Almost certainly the first, although Taskers was around the same t...

Sorry, he is. 6ft 2, who’d have thowt it?

longsidetrumpet

Brownhill - tend to agree. I’d like him to sign and it’s possible that he’s now at his peak and would do better in the Premier League, but the reality is that we have two relegations under our belts where he’s featured heavily in midfield. So I’d like to sign him for the likely relegation because h...

Second the Gary Imlach book. Football wise, anything by Duncan Hamilton and particularly Jonathan Wilson, especially his Two Brothers, about the Charltons. I’m not keen on the Dave Thomas books, sorry to say

But he isn’t on it

Line-up, from the horse’s mouth or as near as dammit, Les Samuels’s wife and son: BackLtoR Dodd,Butterfield, Shannon,Cummings, Mcdonald, Henegan Front Kirkham,Holden,?,Samuels, Winton. She’s working on the question mark is Mrs S.

longsidetrumpet

As Tony says second right front row is Les Samuels, confirmed by his son Andy, who also confirms it is at Lucas sports ground. He is going to ask his mum for more names

longsidetrumpet

I’m more concerned about Shurandy Sambo

longsidetrumpet

And just look at his CV… spent time at Hartlepool, Bury and Shrewsbury and Braintree. He’s seen that side of football, bet he’s pinching himself at what’s to come

longsidetrumpet

The moneyed clubs will know all about him unfortunately. Simply imperious

He always does. An exception in present-day football

As St Alban's says Burnley Clarets is a thriving independent set-up of 30 walking footballers playing in three age groups in the Greater Manchester Walking Football League. We set up in 2019 having previously been involved with the Burnley FC in the Community group. There was a bit of politics invol...

Hasn’t he told the club he won’t be signing a new contract as he wants to go back to Wales. Isn’t that why we bought Sonne.
He was superb tonight.

Where’s that shoite come from?

His great long balls apart, he's more than good enough for this league.

I echo the Advocate’s trumpeting of Sycamore Farm. It’s one of the few establishments where wearing a baseball cap is de rigeur while you slap brown sauce on your fried egg

4 all premier league fixtures to pick from. 3 premier league v championship (premier league side at home). 1 game championship v championship. I'm hoping tv broadcasts all 8 games, Sunday or Monday is best for me for Preston v Burnley. I'm expecting to make my debut for Surrey 70s on 1st March, a f...

Minimum 8 for all the players, brilliant to watch first half. Think fidelcastro had tuned into the wrong game

longsidetrumpet

The players will all be laughing at the revelation of some of the middle names. 'Harrington Traff?'

I think questions need asking (and answering) about Shurandy Sambo. Come on Mr Pace, let's have the facts

I agree. I keep asking (not anybody at Burnley FC of course) about him. Are there rumours I haven't heard?

longsidetrumpet

Parker was more relaxed with him as well, probably pleasantly surprised to be having a ‘conversation’ rather than the inane questions he gets from one member of the media team (the one with some irritating pronunciations)

longsidetrumpet

What about Sambo? Where’s he hiding?

Round where we lived as kids we had a Subbuteo league, playing home and away at each other’s houses. Tended to play on Sunday afternoons with whatever the Granada edited highlights show was called in the background.

Enjoyed a week there some years ago, plenty of buses to get you round the island. We went to Poseidon expecting a day in the sun with lots of spa dips - it turned out a grey, cool day!!!

Bob Lord with my late sister, who had been a season ticket holder for a long number of years but hadn't been on for a while after having her daughter. Very emotional, thinking of our late mum and dad on that match who'd also been season ticket holders

Not 1 shot on target , no attacking threat at all. Never seen as many mis-placed passes. Both sets of fans silent in boredom. Iv 100% seen better quality in Sunday league. What an awful advert for the Championship that was, if any of these 2 teams go up they will get murdered and go down with the l...

Carole’s Home Again concert that was on last night is simply amazing, only seen bits of it before on YouTube. Her playing and singing was faultless, such a voice that was hidden away for most of the 60s when she was writing, and that band she had… wow. Some of THE big session musicians that were aro...
