Very intersting but surely that's the FA Youth Cup not the reserves. :) Yes that's correct, sorry all! He had quite a few team sheets, naturally I went looking for any Burnley ones and had not checked the title. Quite a bit before my time, but I recognise a lot more names than I had expected to :D

Just been looking over some old team sheets with my father in law from when he played for Blackpool reserves (No. 5 D. Horn).

Re: Trafford's replacement

Hopefully someone else comes in for JT soon and gets them upping their bid.

Confident we will have replacements lined up ready to go, as it feels inevitable that JT will leave.
