For those of us who are a certain age. The passing of another player from my youth. Terry Hennessey. A key player in a much forgotten Nottingham Forest team that reached the semi finals of the FA cup & were runners up in the First Division in 1967...and then went on to become the final piece of the ...

Just looking at the Wrexham team and recognising Joey Jones and Mickey Thomas straightaway. Is Graham Whittle the one who played in Everton's youth team against us when we won the Youth Cup?

That was Alan Whittle.

There's the well-told story of Denis Law golfing somewhere in Manchester on the day of the 1966 World Cup Final. After finishing the game, he was told England had won the World Cup ....as a proud Scotsman he replied "you've just ruined my day"!!

6-1 against Manure will take some beating.

Didn't Man U exact some revenge the following day, with a certain G. Best being recalled back from family in Belfast ..??

Not played in the 'top flight' since Tom Finney retired (1960) Must be hard to take that both Blackpool and Wigan have managed that. The latter with a FA Cup Final victory thrown in.

Think Ian Brennan started as a forward and ended up at Left Back.

claretfern

Would love him back but, as previous posters have indicated, he's not going to give up being in a Premier League matchday squad picking up more than decent wages to come back here.

BBC website reporting Chelsea admiring him. . Says Brighton will want 100mil.......

My cousin met him in recent times down in Cardiff...told him he was a Burnley fan...Jimmy said " awww... I loved that Football club"

Wasn't aware, until recently, that the ex-Forest and Liverpool midfielder Peter Cormack had passed away with ''Dementia Complications"
He was 78.

Rowls is saying ‘we’ve got in the youth team’ as if he’s referring to a current player. 1968 Youth Cup winner Gerry is from Burnley… and now lives in the South West

Yes. I know he did. No 'McEvoy' shown on U21 or U18 players lists.

Rovers' Andy McEvoy was from the Republic of Ireland...I think the Burnley Youth Goalkeeper Gerry was from Rossendale...

It's possible but doubtful...I think it would've been a known fact had they been related.

Does anyone know if the McEvoy who scored for b.Rovers is related to the McEvoy we've got in the youths?

I believe Ron Yeats sited Andy Lochhead as one of his toughest opponents: no surprise..both as hard as nails.

If you're anEngland fan, I can recommend 'Answererd Prayers by Duncan Hamilton. Tells the story of Ramsay and the Boys of 66 and the aftermath.

Hopefully Claret Tony will reveal all on his continued look back on that 1973/4 season when he's able to do so.

Looking at the BBC website, it appears the Luton's game in hand away at Bournemouth is "pencilled in" for 18th May although shows 'TBC' ..if that date is confirmed, it may suit Luton to have this game in hand especially if they're in a relegation scrap (that may involve us) I don't understand why th...

The wilderness years when Benson & Cavanagh were in charge.
Being in town on a Saturday afternoon and you wouldn't have known there was a home game on. Fair play to those who attended during that period.

Think Dave Thomas was owed a bonus from Burnley (as he played in the early games in the promotion season) Bob Lord thought not as he had left the club. On signing for QPR, he told Terry Venables what had happened. Venables successfully sought to get the money Thomas was owed via the tribunal. Someth...

I noticed our ex-loan player, Georges-Kevin Nkoudou, scored yesterday for Damak.
Presumably making more than decent living playing out there....

Yeah, I guess there are a few more.
Maybe my OP would've been better saying 'how many have there been?'

Given that it's likely Martinez will be in goal for Villa in our next home game- other than any of the '66 WC winning team - will Martinez be the first World Cup Winner, since 1966, to play a competitive match at the Turf?
I can't think of anyone else....

1978 at a guess. Anglo-Scottish Cup winners?

Should Coventry City win the play-offs, no way should we be giving a rival a helping hand next season.
