I can’t see without my specs and I think I’d know if I walked out of a pub toilet without them. For one, I would walk into the door frame!

We saw him at Batley Variety Club in the early seventies. He came on stage, sang song after song, no banter with the audience, just launched into the next number as soon as he had finished the previous one. He left the stage to the usual shouts of More! But the mc came on and said that Mr Orbison ha...

Just been conversing with my Wednesday supporting cousin. She has this to say It's a bit of a nightmare at the moment but we just get on with it! I got my season ticket a couple of days ago for the kop. The people on the north stand still haven't heard what is happening to them - about 9000 of them!...

I remember Merrington as a no nonsense, take no prisoners type of centre half Does he still have his red hair? Him and I are around the same age, I still have red hair, although not as much of it as I once had

You know what, he still has hair that you recognise as once being red.

Pleased to read he’s still with us.
Didn’t he go into the church when he finished with football?

He found his faith whilst still at Burnley. Told me yesterday that Joe Brown played a big part in that as Joe was a Christian. Has been a preacher since the sixties.

Spent a few hours in the company of Dave Merrington today up at Hurstwood church. He was in the area for the weekend and wanted to see his friends Eddie and Mary Cliff. Lovely guy still very active and articulate. He was an uncompromising defender in his time here.

I have some 3D glasses from when House of Wax was screened locally in 3D in the mid 60’s. Will these suffice?

Guitargeorge

The Black House series by Peter May. Excellent. His descriptive prose is second to none.

Leeds apparently at the same venue.

Do you have a Kindle version?

No, just old fashioned paper.

Is there anything in the book about Mick Abrahams Band playing there,I was there as a very young boy and would love to know what year it was.

He played there on 21st May 1971.

Thanks for the replies, my email is georgedavidgrimshaw@gmail.com. Just message me

I have had a further limited number of copies of this iconic book reprinted. If anyone missed the boat last year and is interested, please register below and I will post further details. Three new appendices added to include bands performing there in the seventies and to bring the book up to the dat...

I have just uploaded Burnley Express pictures and fan comments of the Celtic game to our website, BCTHIC.org. Scroll down to enter the Heritage Image Collection. Just use the search for Glasgow Celtic to view. If you haven’t visited before, there are numerous images and stories about BFC and also ma...

All club shop bought shirts, none from 80’s. Parky/Eyres Endsleigh shirt is probably oldest.

Guitargeorge

I have eight Burnley shirts going back over the last thirty years, all good condition. Who is best to contact for best price.

Guitargeorge

It’s not the size that counts.

Guitargeorge

S1 Ep158 has some good colour footage of BFC from the sixties. Shows Alex Elder signing on and training on the cinders at the back of the Longside. I’ve seen it before, but if you haven’t, go to the TPTV website and look for the archive material.

14 out of the last 17 away I believe

I put them in my wallet and then went back and printed them off from the email, after reading advice on another thread. Will take both.

Get hold of a copy of “Walking the Wainwrights” by Stuart Marshall. Splits them down into 36 doable circular walks.

Guitargeorge

Could do, I never thought of that! Thought I would try the font of all knowledge first, as its weekend.

Anyone know the procedure for getting a birthday message onto the big screen at half time?

Guitargeorge

But if you watched CJ last night, his passes on the ground were made with pace every time. Couple this with his uncanny knack of finding his man with 50 yard passes, he certainly bucks the trend. Granted, he did make a few poor passes last night, most uncharacteristic. I agree with the original post...

Guitargeorge

Just wondering what the consensus is to our transfer window and hopes for promotion?

Guitargeorge

A quick update. The first print last year sold out in about four months. I am investigating the feasibility of reprinting a small quantity and am currently awaiting a reply from the printer.

Guitargeorge

If Whittaker starts and scores against the meanest defence in Europe, then he’s worth having. If he doesn’t try, then that’s because he doesn’t want to knock back the club he is about to join. All positive.

Guitargeorge

He works miracles doing what ? TBF getting 2 films made about him which are complete works of fiction is pretty miraculous. I agree that some of what he does shows Burnley in a positive light. Though I have also had people ask me whether all people from Burnley are like him and in no way were they ...

Early sixties songs were
2-4-6-8
Who do we appreciate

Or

Who 4 why 4
Who the hell do you think we’re for?

Speaking to someone close to the club, they said exactly this. VK has left the club in a gigantic mess. But it doesn’t answer why he was allowed to get away with it. The buyer wher I worked long ago asked the MD if he could purchase a book on Negotiation. The answer was simple “If you can convince m...

The fact that Parker is Chief Coach and Kompany was Manager, tells me who the board are pointing the finger at. Maybe, just maybe, they should shoulder some of the blame for allowing Kompany enough rope to hang us true supporters out to dry!

My grandsons have just phoned to see if I can get them a couple of stand seats from Northlight. I can’t find the email from the club, but from memory, were they just on sale last week?

Where was all the passing across the pitch and slow build ups? Really missed that!

This is a shop window display for some of the squad

The new head coach will surely be in the background to this appointment of an assistant. That working relationship is even more crucial than a chief exec/FD relationship.

Guitargeorge

Thank you for what you have done, and what you will be doing in the future. Your hard work is very much appreciated by all. Hoping that better days are round the corner

Guitargeorge

Ooops, no dementure here, just so long since we saw him. Like someone said, never had so many responses to a post!!!

Guitargeorge

Anyone know how he is doing? Unless I missed something, not much has been said about him recently. He tore the Championship up last time round and I have him as a key player next season. Providing, that is, that he returns in good time and is back to where he was. Rehab is a long process.

Guitargeorge

The club under the stand at Peel Park was very good on Wednesdays in the sixties. Hosted Paul Simon I seem to remember, whoever he is.
