I’ve followed Burnley for over 35 years and didn’t know these answers. Makes you wonder why it’s not more widely publicised or talked about.

Since when did they strip Tarks of the captaincy? Is it because he's refused to sign a new contract? Would have made it into double figures but for that

17/17

Yes I did wonder about that question myself, I knew it wasn't Jimmy Mac as it stated Englishman.

Just checked myself and it appears the question is correct, to give a hint for those struggling think inter-war period.

14 out of 17 for me on this one ... shameful

It wouldn't accept "Judas" or "B**tid Rovers"

With a username like that, I’d be disappointed if it was any less…..

Only 14, Appearances, Goalscorer and badge.........shamed!

14. forgot Gascoigne came from Everton
Should really have guessed the two record holders.

16/17 I thought Miller or Dobson would have been our record appearance holder.

Miller & Dobson are high on the post war list but the top three in that group are Angus & McIlroy with 439 & Stevenson with 438.

Yes I went blank on the Gazza one also, no idea why, how can you forget Gazza. I got the appearance one after a few minutes thought, again it's a long time ago, so unless you're a true Clarets scholar you may not remember this chap.

The " Cliviger Blacksmith " himself, pronounced himself unfit for the 1914 Cup Final, missing the biggest game of his career, as to not " let the side down " ...

A couple of years ago, I did an exercise starting with the current team and found a player who'd played with an older team-mate, and so on back to our 1st League line-up in 1888, I think it only took 14 players ... this man was a great help, being on Burnley's books for 21 years !!

16 couldn't think of the record goalscorer ...

Just found the " old " post, how many remember that Phil Bardsley played with Graham Branch during his 2005-06 loan spell, obviously " diBranchio " played with Steve Davis MkII, who in turn played with Joe Jakub who appeared with Jim Thomson, who played his 1st League game for Burnley in 1968 .... just five players spanning 53 years !

16, didn't know how to phrase the badge answer.

16.

Did he really come from Everton?

14

I got 15, best I've ever done on any of Tiger's quizzes !!

Missed the record games one.

14. Scorer and appearances I had no idea. Also was thrown by the Everton one as hadn't realised he was there when we signed him.

Burnley's nickname, The Clarets is used now but it isn't officially our nickname, therefore is question 1 incorrect?

That sounds interesting. Could you post the answers on here?

Edit: I've found it using your name and the leading appearance man. It was posted on 26th April 2020 if some don't know the all time leading appearance player.
