debut for Dave Thomas: 16 years and 220 days of age

He was 46 days older than Tommy Lawton was when he made his debut, but Dave became the youngest player ever to play in a top flight game for Burnley, a record he still holds to this day.

I think I'd just posted that

here's some info that you may also have been responsible for before your 'transfer' to uptheclarets'!

Had a good chat with him in the club shop today - says he's in good health apart from his eyes - good reception for him too at half time

One of only a handful of players I've seen that could take a corner with either foot.

He also used to play in training shoes!

When Dave Thomas and Leighton James played together they often swapped wings as they were both two footed.
