Ex Burnley players now Captains of their clubs

Post by CaptJohn » Sun Sep 14, 2025 11:19 am

I was watching the Brentford v Chelsea match last night and I started wondering how many ex players are now club captains of their respective clubs.

Nathan Collins; Brentford
Tarks; Everton
Jimmy Dunne; QPR
O'Shea; Ipswich

Can anyone add to that? I'm sure I may have missed some.

Had Tarky been appointed captain this season? I thought it was still Coleman.

EDIT: Everton captain is still Séamus Coleman.

Yeah, Tarky isn’t official Everton captain (still Coleman as Tony says), but he has worn the armband plenty.
Westwood at Charlotte FC is a great shout.
Darikwa at Lincoln too, didn’t realise he’d been made captain there.

Tom Anderson was Doncaster captain for years before his summer move to Shrewsbury.

Coleman has played 1 minute so far this season so more of an off the field role.

Coleman will be 'Club Captain', although no longer expected to play. Tarkowski is team captain, on a regular basis, if he plays.

Not according to Everton.
