FEWEST minutes Burnley XI

[sjb]

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.

It wasn't Viv Busby, it was his brother Martyn.

[1989_claret]

Already mentioned probably but mine off the top of my head.

Paul Robinson striker on loan from Wimbledon.
Anthony Shandran. Next best thing but never got the chance?
Luigi’s shocker at Cheltenham.
Duane Courtney. Did he play v Ipswich when Darren Bent ripped us apart?
Frank Petr Kval. No need to say anymore.
Matthew O’Neill the long throw specialist.

[ClaretTony]

I have absolutely no memory of him.

This is the only pic I have of him

Duane Courtney. Did he play v Ipswich when Darren Bent ripped us apart?

That was in the season before we signed him. He played seven league games for us and the only start was that remarkable game at Luton when John Spicer went in goal.

Am I getting him mixed up with Amadou Sanokho then as someone who played against Ipswich that day and literally couldn’t run or pass

That hasn't helped.

I think so, just dug out our team that day against Ipswich. Note the early substitution.

Brian Jensen, Lee Roche, Frank Sinclair (Amadou Sanokho 7), John McGreal, Mo Camara, Richard Duffy, Micah Hyde, Tony Grant, James O’Connor, Graham Branch, Robbie Blake. Subs not used: Paul Scott, Mark Yates, Joel Pilkington, Matt O’Neill.

A certain Mr Cahill made his debut for us three days later.

What a great day that was

Did Paul Rachubka and Nathan Abbey ever make an appearance?

Three sub appearances, coming on after 60, 75 and 74 minutes.

Was he the sub who charged down the touchline to join in the celebrations when we equalised against Boro in injury time ?

He was on the pitch when we equalised, that was the second of his three appearances.

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Anthony Shandran

Remember seeing him sat on his own in the Manor Barn tucking into a plate of chips.

[1989_claret]

Paul Robinson (GK)?

Played 3 times for us.

[ClaretTony]

I know it doesn't show minutes, just the number of appearances, but it is worth checking this out if you are not sure how many games a player might have played for us.

So, what's the XI so far?

His digs were on the same street into manor bar. Top
Lad was shandy. Leeds offered a large sum for him that was rejected. Baffling how Stan never played him

Having come on at Crewe, Stan said he’d done really well and his first start wasn’t far away. It never came.
