There's an article by a Dr. Michael Harrison, 'A Brief History of Transport' which says the line past the Turf was laid in 1926 (presumably the subject of the photo). The article goes on to say that it was short lived as the last tram to Towneley and Brunshaw was October 1934. Last tram in Burnley a...

After my recent performances I need all the help I can get.
If it was there when Wile E did it. how the hell did he come up with E 11? - twice!
Is it a double bluff? - if it is , you've gone too far this time Ralph. Altering the shadows was bad enough.

Quicknick wrote:Gotten is logical. Forget, forgot, forgotten, so why not get, got, gotten?

You're quite right gotten is logical except there's nothing logical about the English language. Common usage in this country for the past participle of get is got and has been for a good 200 years.

I'd forgotten 'agate' which I think is used as 'what's he agate?' - what's he doing? Another East lancashire or at least Nelsonian oddity is the use of the word pants - meaning trousers, a word I never used. It was always short pants or long pants. Our American cousins commonly use the word pants me...

because I remember when there were problems and not issues when things were difficult and not challenging when matters were important or vital or crucial and not just key (or, somehow worse) very key when the word before was occasionally used instead of the apparently obligatory 'ahead of'.

Wickworth Street I think it is and a couple of years ago still had the handrail

From a 1960 memory only, which is dangerous, I thought the Central League trophy was a 'cup' rather than a shield.

Yes it does look like Cliff but he didn't join us until 1945. Is the picture definitely 43/44?

Is it?
Don't think he joined us til after the war.

Looks like Arthur Woodruff, kneeling, bottom right, who played in the 46 cup final.

Apparently a firm called Space X say they are going to send two paying tourists up to the moon next year.
This will obviously be extremely hazardous and with a fair chance of the craft not making it back.
Given this, I would like to propose Ant and Dec as the first two passengers.

1966 when Everton came from 2-0 down to beat Sheffield Wednesday 3-2. Gerry Young let the ball slip under his foot and Derek Temple picked up the ball and scored the winning goal. One of the best cup finals. I remember Temple picking up the ball and striding to the edge of the box and cracking the ...

I remember your namesake being a right pest against Roverrs in the 1960 final. Scored two of Wolves' goals and proved himself a right dirty b*stard for a winger. David Whelan broke his leg in a challenge with Deeley. Only had two non-claret footie heroes as a kid - Tom Finney and after 7 May 1960, ...

1958 Bolton v Man Utd. Practically all neutrals wanted United to win because of Munich but perversely I wanted Bolton. Lofthouse scored both goals, the second by bundling the ball, with Harry Gregg attached to it, into the back of the net. Not a cat in hell's chance of it being allowed today.

Ford Anglia. Managed to get four of us to Boothferry Park in October 71. We won 2 - 1. As we were setting off back we saw Arthur Bellamy outside the players entrance - the team coach had set off without him. We offered to give him a lift back but he very wisely declined. He said he hoped they'd real...

Spurs 4 Burnley 3. Burnley 2-0 up in the first 4 minutes 2 for Willie Irvine, Spurs got 2 goals back but Willie completed his hat-trick 2-3. They equalised and then Gilzean I think got the winner, end to end stuff all the way and probably the best game I've ever seen. This is the game I would go fo...

Based on that footage, how do you think the present day clarets would manage against that old team? I suppose it's difficult, if not impossible, comparing different eras. The difference is not in the level of skill of individual players but in the fitness, equipment (boots and football) and state o...

It was a good game at the Turf. We played well against a very good side. I too remember rushing home from school to watch the match on the telly. Odd that it was shown live. Remember Jimmy Mac hitting the post near the end.

They were like heavy Xmas puddings. Jimmy Mac admitted he used to avoid heading the ball after getting terrible headaches after heading the ball as a youth.

Mrs Deeley and I went on the tour last summer - was a tenner each and extremely good value - same as Arnold as regards what we did. Mrs Deeley right suited to walk down the tunnel following in the footsteps of her beloved Tom.
