Bloody 4-4-2 again

Nimani was the one that first came to mind for me but already mentioned! I did hear a rumour back at the time that he was wanted by police after running across train tracks or something like that. Can't remember all the details. That came from someone very close to the manager at the time!

What was that Mckenzie’s first name? 4th division championship season? Wasn’t he a postman in Scotland?

Paul McKenzie?

Did we have a Paul McKay also (local lad?).

We had a striker called Paul Robinson when Stan was here.
Can’t remember him playing much.

Who would the manager of this team be? (I was thinking shortest full-time appointment, not including caretakers).

Yeah, think he played around 1989/90, but played around 10 games or so. He was in my Biology class at Barden HS (left 1987)

Didn't Ian Muir, the Tranmere goal machine, play on loan with us?

Also, I remember a player called Phil Ray, as I have 2 cousins called Philip and Raymond

He got another sub appearance at the end of the season but Ryan Townsend came on in 80th minute in that game at Crewe and it was his only appearance.

I thought his 1 and only appearance was as a sub against Coventry. Pretty sure I remember a pic of him and Dele Adebola.

EDIT: Dele Adebola can’t have played much for us either.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Tue Jul 23, 2024 10:07 am

Dele Adebola had 3 appearances for us with 1 goal
in 2004, according to Wiki.

I stand to be corrected, but with the possible exception of the goalkeeper, I am convinced that the 10 outfield players will each have played less than a game and most probably less than 10 minutes.

Cisak had about half hour at Brighton away when Heaton was sent off.

Very true, but I’m certain he played the league cup game against Preston as well.

I never realised Mark Kendall was in goal for Wolves in the Sherpa Van final.

Kendall got the " rap " for the 5-2 defeat at Blackpool, but in truth the defending was also shocking that day. We'd got it back to 3-2, and then started chasing an equaliser ... He kept a clean sheet on his debut, a 0-2 away win at Chesterfield, and was also in goal for the 2-2 FA Cup game at home to Derby, who included Peter Shilton & Ted McMinn in their ranks.

Mark Kendall joined South Wales Police after retiring, and earned two commendations for bravery, including one for talking down a man armed with a chainsaw. His last role was as a Trainer, before he died of a suspected heart attack in May 2008, aged just 49 ...

Who was that CB we had on loan from Palace? Broke his Cheekbone about 20 mins into his debut and never played for us again as far as I recall?

Doug something?

Rick Holden, Neil Howarth, Ian Patterson & Stewart Hooper all made one sub appearance but don’t know what time they came on.

John Williamson v Macclesfield 72nd minute

I can probably find out what minute Ian Patterson came on at (was it Bristol Rovers away in 1993?) and Neil Howarth (Colchester away 1990?) as I was keeping my own little records in those days

Darthlaw · Post by **Darthlaw** » Tue Jul 23, 2024 1:23 pm

Great pub quiz question:

Which Burnley striker scored a goal in each of his appearances at Turf moor, without ever starting a competitive game during his 2 year stint at the club?

I thought Besart Berisha would have been one of the most famous but he never achieved even one competitive minute!

You've got the games right

sjb · Post by **sjb** » Tue Jul 23, 2024 4:01 pm

Neil Howarth replaced Paul Atkinson after 70 minutes at Colchester in May 1990. It was Colchester's last game in the league for 2 seasons before they came back up. I'll check the other subs later.

Andrew Wayne. Two sub appearances in 2003.

Scored on his debut after coming on as sub against Stockport at home in 86/7. 3 further league appearances that season without finding the net.

Silkyskills1 · Post by **Silkyskills1** » Tue Jul 23, 2024 4:59 pm

Was thinking Jeff Tate but then remembered his claim to fame was to score his first ever goal for the club and never play again. Only played 5 times though.

The legend that was Tony Hancock Centre Forward must lead the line for his perm alone?

That's what £50k got you in 1989, Stockport definitely saw us coming.

Brian Chippendale (Left Wing I think) a winger of least renown.

Drissa Diallo, (Centre Back) I was gutted when he left after his man of the match MOTD performance. If we weren't on telly I'm sure he would have stayed.

Leigh Palin never really got a sniff. (Midfield)

Richard Overson (VInce's brother) (Centre Back)

Micky Wardrobe and he was built like one. (Centre Forward)

Viv Busby a classy loan (Midfield)

Colin Anderson Winger Played in our 0-1 FA cup defeat against Bury eventually signed by West Brom.

billyhamilton82 · Post by **billyhamilton82** » Tue Jul 23, 2024 5:41 pm

After checking I'm amazed that the majority of those players played a lot more than I thought they did, I was sure they were one or two match wonders.

Goes without saying when Hancock and Chippendale get 27 appearances between them it shows how shoite we were.

Anybody who complains about our current players, you really don't know how lucky you are.

Think Grant was - looks like he’s a pro golfer now from a bit of googling.

Always remember headed chance Lee missed at Wigan (a).

He'd made his Burnley debut against Ipswich and had impressed Joe Royle who was manager at the time. That led to Dobbo keeping tabs on him. He shouldn't be mentioned in this thread though, he made 18 appearances for us.
