Minute's silence tonight ahead of the game to remember all those Clarets who passed away in 2020

I know we won't be there but I hope you will join me in standing at home ahead of kick off.

Just read through the list and no time is ever right, however there are some young people listed evidently taken way too soon.

RIP all fellow clarets.

And a number of people I know, one who I didn't know had passed.

Is it me or does there seem to be a lot more names in them at list this year?

Suppose that’s a sign of what 2020 was like.

RIP

It brought a tear to my eye as I read down all that list. Yes I will definitely be standing in memory of them all.

Wow what a long list, from 105 year's old to just 6 day's old RIP

A long shot - but any advice on how to get a late addition to this list if possible. Many thanks.

Done through the club, cut off was 2nd Jan and should have been held on 3rd for the Fulham game.

RIP fellow Clarets.

One of those on the list appears prominently on the UTC header(from the Orient game)

Ok. Thanks anyway.

Far too many who did not reach any kind of age. Very sad.
RIP you Clarets.

Although exiled in Kent the club is honouring both my dad and brother on the list - it makes me realise that for all the moaning and groaning that goes on Burnley Football Club is a very unique abs special club - one club, one team, one community !! This is Burnley !!

Rest in Peace our fellow Clarets.

RIP. Lost members of the Clarets family.

God bless, to all those who have passed. RIP.

Moving reading such a long list of people connected to the club, those names you know and don't

RIP Clarets

RIP to all

My mother is one of the names, and my sister and her husband or Utd fans so it was just right to do it

A sobering list

RIP fellow clarets

RIP all you Clarets.

An old school friend on there...

RIP all you Clarets who have passed.

Sadly I knew a few on there.. A mention for Sean Teiney Who sadly passed last year after a battle with C. And who wasnt on the list. A big Burnley fan When we were poor in the Eighties......RiP to All.

RIP to all those who sadly left us. Thoughts with their families and loved ones too.

We'll keep the Claret flag flying in their name.

It did seem a long list tonight, a humbling experience and a few on there that I knew too, Andy Warn of Wilkinson Cameras being my main focal point, he was only 41 and his funeral on 5 February seems like such a long time ago, and Bob Nuttall who's funeral was in lockdown and what seemed like the whole of Barrowford applauding has his cortege passed through the village. 2020 will be a year to forget for sure, rest in peace Clarets.

Good friend of mine from Walton High on that list. Saddened to read of his passing. RIP .

Great tribute,sad to see the name Michael Farry on there....RIP my fellow Claret x

Quite a few ex clarets on that list too.

RIP all fellow clarets.

Last year someone on here pointed out that there were no former players on the list for 2019 but there are six on there this year who played inthe first team - Peter Hampton, Brian Pilkington, Fred Smith, John Talbut, Tony Waiters and Peter Whittingham - and I've just spotted Tony Morrin who played i the reserves.

When we launched this back in January 2013 it came from an idea that I put forward having seen Southampton do it at a televised game. It was when Lee Hoos came in that we got the all clear to do it but I got a lot of stick on the message board for doing it. I still think it's the right thing to do and every year there are a number of people on there that I know.

There was just one on there this year that I wasn't aware of and that was Pam Swaine. She was 80 and was doing all the home and away games until not that long ago when she fell ill. Always travelled with the supporters club and went on the trips to Ireland for pre-season too.

RIP fellow Clarets.
I think Ronnie Stuttgart should be Ronnie Stuttard

There's 7 ex clarets really, if you include Derek Gill.

Should it? I can correct it on the page on UTC if you can confirm that but I got the list from the club.

Great bloke, a real gentleman.

Fond memories of Big John Talbut. As a child I used to go round to his house, when him and his wife lived on Marsden Rd Burnley

I think it is a very fitting way to remember those who are a part of our club that are no longer with us. Only 1 name on there that I knew and I felt myself welling up as I observed the minute of reflection and we are just approaching 1 year since I got a text from Tony to inform me that Alan Beecroft had lost his fight against MND. RIP to Beeky and to all other members of the Claret family who sadly left us in 2020.

RIP always get a lump in my throat when the silence is on, more poignant this year for obvious reasons.

It's an excellent, if implicitly very sad initiative and like everyone else I was amazed at how long the list was this year and also at some of the names I recognised. It's a very fitting way for us all to pause and remember those fellow Clarets who loved the club just like we do and who now won't see another game. There's thousands and thousands gone before us down the years and there's thousands and thousands will come after us as our time on The Turf is very transient, but we'll hand over the batton to be carried on when the time comes and we become a part of the club's history. I was very pleased to see Sky highlighted it last night.

I've looked back, it was just a little bit longer last year than it was this year.

God bless you all RIP fellow Clarets

RIP to all. This was posted, good response from Darren Bentley and Alan Pace

Hi Tony.
Ronnie STUTTARD and his wife Irene had both been both members of Colne Cricket Club (until the last couple of years)
To be honest I did not know they had both died until I saw Ronnie's name on the list.
When I checked Pendle Obituaries it confirmed that Ronnie had died aged 92 on 14th. December 2020 in the Marsden Grange Nursing Home and his wife Irene had died at an earlier date.
I thought it was strange that someone from Colne would have a German name like Stuttgart.

Shocked when i saw a name on the last last night so texted a friend and was told he passed two weeks ago , very sad i must say .

There are two good friends of mine who are not on the list Mick Fletcher and Terry McCardle. Both great supporters.

My mum was on the list sadly, its really well handled by the club.

Was Mick Fletcher a referee? If it's the same one, he sent me off for the one and only time in my career......

Last night watching all the names on the billboard brought tears to my eyes, I stood up in my front room out of respect for those no longer with us a lump in my throat, we don't know how lucky we are, God bless us all.

Hi Herts, yes Mick was a ref. You must have done something bad for Mick to send you off.

Mick passed away last May after a short battle with cancer. He was just 70. We do try to publicise the in memoriam as much as we can so people can send in the names. Sadly there are always some who are not included.

Didn't know Terry but Mick was a top bloke.

Playing 6 a side at the Turf gym. He gave 3 free kicks in quick succession to the opposition. I asked him if he was only looking one way. No bad language, no previous in the game and I got a straight red from him. To be fair we had been pain in the arses for a couple of weeks prior to this including a couple of set tos. I think it accumulated and my comment was the straw that broke the camels back.
