It may be too easy, too difficult, too boring…

I’ve used TransferMarkt so don’t go there to cheat and even though I've checked it a few times, don’t be too harsh if there’s an error or two!

Answers later, maybe as we go, I'm not sure. Nothing too serious. On your marks!

Beginning with the most recent, here is a list of players to have worn a particular number. Fill in the gaps.

A 2 _____ - Trippier - Alexander - ______ - _____ - West
B 5 Harwood-Bellis - Tarkowski - ______ - Shackell - Carlisle - ______ - Sinclair - ______
C 8 Brownhill - _____ - Marney - Gudjonsson - ______ - Hyde - _______ - Blake
D 10 Barnes - ______ - Ings - Paterson - Andy Gray - _______ - Akinbiyi - ______ - Payton
E 16 ______ - Defour - ______ - Luke O’Neill - _____ - Berisha - McCann

The following players had more than one squad number during their time with the Clarets. What were the numbers?
F Sam Vokes
G Graham Branch
H Tony Grant
I Ross Wallace
J Robbie Blake

What do the following numbers have in common?
K 36, 42, 25

Complete the equations using the numbers each player wore.
L Ian Maatsen minus Nahki Wells
M Darko Churlinov minus Matej Vydra plus Tendayi Darikwa

I'll take a punt on K: never been worn during a first team game.

Beyer wears 36
Norris, Wood, Gudjonsson, Keane, Valois & Johnrose have worn 25
Not sure on 42

O. I would say shirt number 3, Diallo from Guinea, Kalvenes from Norway, can't think of the American though, perhaps Karbassiyoon? Unlikely though.

J. Robbie Blake, squad number 8 and 20?

Those I remember wearing those numbers

A Lowton, Thomas, Roach?
B Keane, ?, ?
C Drinkwater, Mahon, Hyde
D Vossen, ?, Moore
E Stephens, Dyer, ?

K loan players that then signed permanently?
36 Beyer
25 Lennon
Not sure of the 42

Correct. 3. Kalvenes, Diallo (or Camara!) and Karbassiyoon.

Close. You're sort of there with the reason but not the players. A bit of a clue is that we don't yet know if Beyer will change numbers, he may stay as 36.

One of the players mentioned here is correct.

K. Is the link that the players originally signed on loan but then moved permanently and originally kept the same number?

36. Beyer
25. Keane
42. Cork?

P - Farrelly, Robertson, Foster?

Almost! They are players who wore a number when on loan at Burnley, and a different number when signed permanently. Keane and Cork are correct.

You've got the South African. (Gareth Farrelly wore 16 so it's not him.)

Ben Mee wore 36 and then moved to 6 - think he now wears 36 at Brentford too.

Correct.

36 - Mee
25 - Keane
42 - Cork

Mee had 16 at Brentford last season.

P. Shirt number 12, Ireland (Kevin Long), Australia (Alex Cisak) and South Africa (Lyle Foster)
Q. Shirt number 21, Jamaica (Dane Richards)

If Q is right with the shirt number, helps narrow down the French and Scotsman who wore it as well.

B. Shirt number 5, between Carlisle and Sinclair, Wayne Thomas? Then prior to Sinclair, John McGreal?

P - Kevin Long wore 28. But Cisak and Foster are correct.

Q - Richards (Jamaican) did wear 21 and Boyd too (Scottish, kinda) but no Frenchman. So it isn't 21.

Wayne Thomas didn't wear number five. Neither did McGreal, he wore 4. Notice that I haven't told you what Thomas wore...

Answer to P -Robbie Brady ,Alex Cisak, Lyle Foster ?

C - Not quite, Grant wore more one than number for Burnley though, see H.
D - Lafferty wore 17 for Burnley. And I think maybe 9?
E - Correct, Zavon Hines!
Q - Cornet is Ivorian. It's a tough one. The Jamaican player is dual heritage and only played for Jamaica after leaving Burnley. The French player was a loan signing and there's actually more than one choice for the Scottish player.

Just triple checked and I've ballsed up Q. He was born in France but plays(ed) for Cameroon.

For Q as it was a French loan player, Nimani?

Stumped on the others

Edit - Just saw your comment Q played for Cameroon, so definitely not Nimani.

Nimani is the only player to have played (and I use the word played very loosely indeed) from the Central African Republic.

Q. Nkoudou? If so he wore 7. Wallace wore 7 as well and maybe Micah Hyde as the Jamaican? Can‘t remember what his number was.

Edit: Just realised if it is 7 the Jamaican will be Andre Gray

Correct! N'Koudou, Gray, and it could've been Wallace or Kevin McDonald.
