Ellis Simms scored for Everton yesterday, wearing number 50. He's the highest-numbered player to score for Everton which made me think who has that 'honour' for Burnley. Has a player wearing a number higher than 45 (Obafemi) scored for Burnley?

Can we name a goal scorer for every number? Starting at 2 so... Alexander. 3... Harley... 4...

Highest number has to be Obafemi

I think so but wondering who it was before him...

Scott Arfield wore number 37

Ben Mee wore number 36 when he first signed for us

Jack Cork wore number 42 in 2010

I have a distant memory of Harry Thomson scoring for the reserves. If that is correct that gives a No 1 scoring.

Perhaps CT will know!

Arfield 37 and Cork 42 both scored and I think Mee 36 did too. Great. Nothing higher than Obafemi 45 yet. Another others in the 30s and 40s?

Chris Eagles wore number 33

Did Gascoigne wear number 34?

Harry scored against Chorley at Victory Park in a 1-1 draw in the Lancashire Senior Cup during the 1965/6 season.

Thanks sjb, it’s good to have that confirmed, excellent knowledge!
