Could Brian O’Neil have been injured pre-match? Strange to see him stripped when he isn’t listed, for that game, In Clarets Chronicles. He didn’t feature in the remaining home games but played in the away.

O’Neil was the unused sub

Cheers. Get it now. Chronicles only gives an "S" when they were used.

Fantastic pictures claret1977

Fantastic indeed.
Hardly luxurious changing rooms in 1960 !

Walter Joyce there behind Mac and Jimmy Robson in the last photo.

Always felt sorry for Walter, 70 league appearances in 10 years at the club. Brilliant wing-half, he would have walked into any other First Division team during that time, but this was a very special Burnley team and Walter knew it.

Walter looks a mirror image of his lad Warren .

Fast forward to 2020 and in that first picture, Jimmy will be wearing a set of huge cans and Ray is looking at his phone

Is that a metal toe cap on Ray’s Puma boots?

One of my favourite Burnley teams. Not quite Dance of the Little Swans!

1972/73 Division Two Champions!

Great side, indeed.

Who is the lad inbetween Taffy and Doug with his legs the wrong way ?

That's Alan West, Tribesmen.

Great picture Polesworth. I assume that's Billy Ingham extreme right, who are the other two on his right?

Ray Hankin and Eric Probert, although don't see Eddie Cliff on the photo who featured a couple of times that season.

Also Dave Thomas who started the season, first 7 games I think, before he was sold to QPR.

The little heater in the first picture,I bet they still have them in the away dressing room.

Another slightly earlier team pic in the same shirts. Great to see shirts with no sponsor! I guess somewhere between 1969 and 1971.

Place that one prior to the start of the 1971/72 season.

Ralph Coates played in 38 of the 42 games the previous season and is not featured on there. Ralph left for Tottenham in May 1971. That said there are a few notable omissions from that photo, mainly Alan West, Harry Wilson and Eddie Cliff (again).

Fantastic to see John Angus on there, the only one remaining from the Champions side of 11 years earlier. In fact John arrived at the Turf as a junior in 1955 and his career here lasted some 17 years until he retired in 1972. What a magnificent servant to our Club John was.

I know its not the Turf,but im sure i used to see these around the touchline at our home games,did i,or did i dream it?
great pic though,anyone know the ground?

The old Highfield road Coventry ?

I'd agree with that bfcjg

I have a similar memory

Isn't this the Chelsea - Wolves game, 1976, featured this morning on 'The Big Match Revisited' on ITV4??
There was lots of space behind the goal...even a car parked in the middle of the space. This was ,of course, pre Stamford Bridge being totally refurbished.

I know it's not a photograph but I've just dug this out - in the days when you could read the autographs

Superb, and every single one legible.

Alan W Brown, what was Alan's middle name?

Probably place the season as 1956/57?

Cheers, never knew that.......Brown was a key player in our "Iron Curtain" defence which brought us success just after WW2 and then even more importantly as manager in the late '50's, albeit for a short period of time before Harry Potts arrived on the scene.

I googled Billy Dougall, I was surprised he autographed William.
Came up with this wiki page and an obvious error bottom left. He has aged well.

That ain't Alan Brown surely looks more like Alan Ball but not too sure.....any ideas?

The photo is another Alan Brown who played for Sunderland in the 80's.

The chances of having a colour photo of Alan Brown are 10,000/1. You would think someone would have noticed that, particularly as the guy in the photo has a fairly modern hair style!

Couple of programme covers. One from the semi in 1961 which always tends to be slightly forgotten!

Dave Bayliff was a long standing mascot in the late 50s, early 60s. Unfortunately, he died two years ago aged 71.

Great team photo there, clansman.

Perhaps taken in the early part of the 1960/61 season when Trevor Meredith got a good run of games, in fact no John Connelly on the photo at all. We played an unbelievable 60 games that season and John played in 50 of those.

That semi-final was a horror day and we certainly deserved better than the scoreline suggests.

Thanks claret Pope
I didn’t know him , would have been great if he posted on here!
As you know Royboy ivilla park was our bogey ground!

That's a great picture - Mirror Cards - 1971/72 - purchased through the Daily Mirror in packs of 10 as I remember - team pictures of all 92 FL clubs - 'cigarette card' sized in landscape. There was a wall chart to mount the cards on plus some extras - the home countries and pictures of various trophies.

You could get one 'my club' card which was a postcard sized picture of the smaller card - those were the days

Dave Mellington.....like that one.

In fact Merrington didn't play in that game, John Talbut was at centre-half.

Another game against Tottenham where we flattered to deceive, two Willie Irvine goals up in the first ten minutes I think and we still contrived to lose the game!

A rare photo of one of our managers scoring for us. OC v Glentoran 2008!

Seems to be some conjecture as to the colours worn by Burnley and Liverpool in that Final.

Let's clear that one up, we wore Claret & Blue and they wore red, even if there was a slight clash.

No doubt about the quality of the photo though, or the result as we won the FA Cup for the only time in our history with a cracking goal from Bert Freeman (of which there is a photo, but not in colour this time).

Also, just to add, I saw a remarkable photo the other day of rival captains on the day Tommy Boyle for us and Robert Ferguson for Liverpool being introduced to King George V before the game. It was the first time the reigning monarch had been present at football's most important day.

A Willie Irvine hat-trick in the end, and he still ended up on the losing side!

Interesting point you make there. We played Nottm. Forest at home twice in the same season a few years back. On the first occasion they wore black shirts, on the second time they wore red shirts. Personally, I found there to be no clash with the red shirts but it is very rare that opposition teams play in red at Turf Moor.

Apologies if already posted.
