Peter Noble and Paul Fletcher.
They'd both been sold to Blackpool during that season.
I would think that list would include Marshall Burke & Tony Arins who both went to Leeds. Malcolm Smith was probably on that list too.

Looked promising, I think we offered him a deal but he turned it down and went to Wigan. Steve sadly took his own life at just 43.

They are from around that date but Stuart Robertson left for Exeter a couple of years after.
Stuart was best pals with Marshall Burke

He was my favourite player back in the day. I even paid £10 for a pair of his boots at a school fundraising auction.

Tony Norman was the one that sprang to mind as he went on to have a good career
Peter Robinson
Phil Cavanagh - or did he last longer. Ian Wood or maybe David Loggie - those years at the end of the 70s are a bit of a blur

Cavaner was with us until 1983. Wood signed for us that summer but Loggie moved to York a couple of years earlier.

And the other Burnley connections I have spotted are
Geoff Nulty (Everton)
Kevin Glendon (Man City)
Ian Wood (Oldham) - and we signed him
Doug Collins (Rochdale)
Colin Waldron (Rochdale)

Osgood finished then at around 33 - superb player
