Easy this.

Definitely John Brodie. Scottish forward

Played 2 games for us in 1890 then went back to Scotland

I think ironically some obscure players become known for their obscurity and thus become less obscure!

I'll go Zavon Hines.

Both went on to have rather successful careers.

I think it was the shortest Burnley career (about 5 minutes on the pitch). I used to work with someone that told me that stat all the time

Who holds it now? CT's post sounds like he lost the record.

Shortest ever first team career. Came on for Ashley Hoskin at Cambridge in the last minute and was his only first team appearance.

Difficult to determine now with added minutes but I think we’ve had players come on in stoppage time for their only appearance.
