Passed down to me by my late father,my most treasured possession.

Good job Jameson lasts a long time!!!

My early sixties scarf. Darned, holed and darned again. Bought it to replace one pinched at knifepoint outside Old Trafford

the no 13 gold program signed by all the players and coyle from our first home game against Man utd on our return to the prem..

i have the coach but it came with two sets of the same players ( cup holders ), im missing the back 4 of the group

I have the same bus given to me when my granddad died in 2000

I also have my dads programme from Maine Road when we won the title and his programme and ticket from the 62 cup final

no post - sorry!

Without doubt my Jack Chew 1947 Cup final shirt.

A players scrapbook of the 1947 cup run.

I have that bus. If I remember rightly it had some fans sat on the top. My most treasured possession is my Burnley plaque celebrating the new millennium. I hung it over my grandads bedside when he was seriously ill in Blackburn hospital and gave it to my grandma when he died a short time after that. Unfortunately she passed away a few weeks back and while we were taking bags to the charity shop that same plaque was resting on top. I like to think it was their way of returning it to me and it now proudly hangs in my house.

Lovely story GFF

Took me years to find one of those busses in the days before ebay.

claretabroad - that wouldn't be Arthur Woodruffs scrap book?

A football signed by the 94 playoff final team, I won it at a charity auction as a 14 year old at a clone cricket club fun day.

I too have the bus, plus several other Burnley momentoes from the 60s

Everyone has the bus

I've got that bus too!

I also have a cup and saucer with club crest, straight from Bob Lord's boardroom. Given to me many years ago.

Seems we are not alone in owning the bus Ian

I have now passed these down to my son, who has loaned them to Burnley Football Club historian Ray Simpson. They were my great great Grandads and passed down through the family, they cover 1800s to 1969 they are fascinating to read with all match reports including takings and storys like the guy who was thrown from a train and a player who we were duped in to buying from scotland who turned out to have never kicked a ball before

You wait to tell someone you have the bus and then a whole load come all at once!

A White clock?

Mine would be either of my Ralph Coates or Willie Irvine match worn home shirts. I also have a football signed by a number of ex-clarets, many of whom are sadly no longer with us

Brilliant,I love looking through old stuff like that.

The Ali Dia (George Weah's cousin) of his day?! Never heard that story before. What year was it?

Was it Brian Easton?

My picture of Harry Potts signing my programme, with Frank Casper, Peter Noble, and Paul Fletcher standing beside us in front of the offices at Turf Moor. Priceless!

I do have a photo of a plane where one of the passengers is holding out a Burnley shirt. It's been on my wall for 4 years since my Dad passed away, but I'm still not sure where the hell it comes from.

I have a Burnley FC program dated Saturday, 12th April 1930. We played Liverpool and whoever bought the program (2d) wrote on the teams page 4 - 1 to the Clarets. I love to look through it and read everything, especially the advertisements.

My Dads 81/82 winners medal and my piece of seat (someone else broke) from Scunthorpe! UTC

My dads 1962 cup final ticket, songsheet and programme. I shall be raising a glass to him at Wembley tomorrow, 55 years since he was there.

A bit of the Longside I use as a paperweight.

My memories

Thank you BFC

Just memories of taking my Mum in her wheelchair.

Kevin youngs left boot with which he scored to win us the league v Notts county

Jimmy Mc's autograph on a fixed odds betting coupon, which he kindly did when I saw him in Barrowford about 18 years ago.

A cracking gentleman.

Ive got an official Burnley FC training top given to me personally by Eddie Howe

Oops yes you are correct don't no where I got county from

The guy thrown off the train wasn't the manager, Whitaker, was it? If so would love to know the story.

Memories growing up in Burnley left in 1960 to work transferred to USA July 1969. last time in Burnley June 1969 to say goodbye to
my father. Burnley folk best anywhere.

My Turfy Topper lapel pin that my Dad bought me when he took me to matches when I was a kid.

Without doubt the claret and blue scarf my dad gave me on my 8th birthday when he took me on the Turf for the first time, beating Sheff Utd in October 1965. A bit the worse for wear nowadays, but then again so am I.

My mum threw out some old newspapers.

They were every newspaper available on the Sunday following the Orient game in 1987.

There was a new tabloid on the scene at that time. It had a picture of Ian Britton celebrating his goal on the back page with a caption that said 'Nigel Cock scores Burnley's winner'.

I'm assuming that they were referring to Neil Grewcock who put us 1-0 up in the first half.

I'm assuming Eddie Shah was the new tabloid mogul.

My wife recently threw out my underpants that I wore at the Burnley v Stockpot County Play Off Final at Wembley in 1994.

Skids and all, I had been wearing them on a daily basis until we had a visit from the Environmental Health Department.

Memorable what? ... In Burnley?

Love the notebook pics by the way.

Would love to see Willie's match worn shirt if possible.

My 70's silk scarves. Also my Wrangler jacket covered in Burnley patches.

TWO framed photos:

1. A signed Ian Wright Photo, which I won in an auction at an early CM meal.

2. The signed and framed photo of our first ever Premier League squad. Only 100 of the photos were produced and they were all numbered. Each member of the Burnley squad was given their respective squad number. Clarke Carlisle was in my dad's form group throughout his time at high school in Leyland. He returned to give a speech at their awards night and donated his photo to an auction. My dad won the auction and gave me the photo. It's cracking, but does contain Judas!

I don't know. The only information I have about it is that the player was primarily in the reserves that season and may have been called/had the nickname Jock. It's a wonderful piece of history with lots of newspaper cuttings from the different games, many autographs, tickets and a programme from the final. If anyone wants to have a look at it I would be happy to organise something when I am next back in E Lancs (most likely early Oct).
