78...79 in November .Where did it all go ? Was on the " Tommy Cummings " game with my late dad and uncle George and my cousin Graham Lord who went on to play left back for Accrington Stanley before retiring after breaking his leg badly.He was my boyhood hero .When Burnley weren't at home on a Saturday I used to go over to see Stanley .Happy days but times are great now ! UTC.

69 and the bodyβs falling apart

Already had a new knee 9 years ago, currently waiting for a new hip and the other knee replacing. Iβm jealous of Tricky Trevor, I used to enjoy the odd run, the only run nowadays is to the toilet

I'm another 62 coming up 63 type chap. The one who moved to Burnley when he was 10, and lived opposite Arthur Bellamy, and was given complimentary tickets for me and my Dad by him for every home game. I never looked back.

I used to be 40 once. But that was 32 years ago!
In my head I still feel like I am about 40. And I have a Beautiful young wife who keeps me feeling young.

70, 71 in August. Started watching end of β50s but alternated with watching Rovers, depending who was playing at home. Saw the errors of my ways probably around time of the cup final and stuck with the Clarets.

Anyone 79 or older?

I am 68.
First game in 1962 at Ewood Park but Ray Pointer scored. I had the chance to meet him once in later years but was so overwhelmed and tongue tied I couldnβt speak.

68 and still very active, thank God, but to be fair I've worked hard over the years to make it so.
Fingers crossed for the future.
My first game was, so I'm told, BFC v Birmingham in 1965.
Never looked back since.
