Ex Burnley players scoring in the Champs league

Post by Quickenthetempo » Wed Oct 12, 2022 10:32 pm

With Scotty Arfield scoring tonight it got me thinking.

How many ex Clarets have scored in the champions league?
Would have to score after playing for Burnley.

Did Trevor Steven?
Is there anyone else?

Trippier at Atlético is the obvious candidate but not sure if he did or not without looking it up

Uh oh. Do we include future Clarets among the ex Clarets?

This will split the board irreparably.

I'm sure John Connelly scored for Manu in the European Cup after playing for us.

If we're allowing the qualifying rounds Alan Moore for Shelbourne.

Did Tony Morley score for Villa in old-money European Cup?

If we’re including the old European Cup then I suspect Tony Morley will have scored for Villa.

Tony Morley scored the winner in the semi final v Anderlecht first leg, 1982. The only goal of both legs. He then laid on Peter Withes winner in the final.

Vincent Kompany must have notched a goal in the champions league?

Yes, fair enough. I just saw the question in the thread title and set about thinking.

2004. Alan Moore scored for Shelbourne away to Reykjavik in CL. In the following round he scored home and away against Hadjuk Split.

I came up with Alan Moore thinking about Irish players returning to play in Ireland. A possible is Paul McGee. Wiki says he played 15 times for Shamrock Rovers in 1984, after he’d been with us. It also states that he scored 5 goals and played 2 European Cup games. His record shows 9games, 4goals. If this is his league record the fifth goal is probably in the EC.
Still got to check on Keith Treacy and Chris McCann, who has played in the CL this season for Shamrock Rovers.

Neither of Treacy or McCann.
Treacy once laid on a goal for St Pats in the EL.
