Re: Jimmy Mac - Seven Years

I remember seeing Jimmy Mac in his very early days. By the time he finished playing for the Clarets he was much slower and prone to injury. However, he could still control a game and provide goals for others. He was throughout his career the greatest player I have seen playing for Burnley and will n...

No. Les Shannon played 10 and 6 in the 1950’s. He was a great player.

Re: Laurent suspension

I think that the ref wanted him off because he had agreed to referee to the league rules. However, why then did he not play any extra time for injuries and substitutions ???

I saw Burnley become English Champions at Maine Road in May 1960. I'm happy with that in my life time. I was there too. There were huge queues outside the Burnley end but none for youngsters so I got in easily. My grandad however had a long queue to negotiate. He came through the same turnstile as ...
