Just a heads up for those that would like to join us for tonight's quiz. I know there's Premier League footy, world championship snooker and its a Bank Holiday but I hope people will find time to join in and do the quiz.

Same format as usual although Ive added in a picture round (subject to me mastering the technological challenges) and lots of extra points available for those that are quick off the mark.

I will post the questions on this thread at 9pm and then its everyone for themselves.

To play you must be logged in to Up the Clarets / Beehole End and type in your answers as a comment on the thread putting the QUESTION NUMBER followed by your ANSWER (ie 1k Paul Stewart)

Just fire in your answers as soon as you spot one you know. If you take time to read all the questions before typing in your answers it is most likely others will have beaten you to it.

All points are for fun and there are no prizes

SOME people have requested the following:-

For those that prefer to do the quiz in their own time simply read the questions posted at 9pm and write down your answers on a sheet and give yourself a mark after I’ve posted the answers after 10-15pm.

If you do this please let me know your scores on the doors and any comments (even if it’s a day or two after) as it encourages me to spend time preparing the quiz.

I will be issuing a rating level based upon the points attained for those doing the quiz in their own time. I know people can google and mark their own sheets - no problem for me it’s just a bit of fun.

6 Who Am I? (7 POINTS in total) TOUGH ONE THIS WEEK
I was one of many Clarets in the 1960’s who was born in the North East of England hotbed of soccer. I arrived at Burnley with a reputation as a versatile player having been a prolific goalscorer for Northumberland Boys. I had a trial for England schoolboys playing alongside former Liverpool man Roy Evans. I was just 17 when I made my debut for Burnley in 1967 but after struggling in a 4-0 Clarets defeat I didn’t play again for another 8 months. My senior appearances were limited at Turf Moor due to the form of a veteran England international who played in the same position and I left the club in 1971 after we were relegated from the First Division having only made 13 league appearances. I played 82 games for my Roots Hall based club and then after another transfer played 78 games for my Belle Vue based club. Despite my reputation as a youth I only ever scored 1 football league goal. After my playing carrer ended I returned to the Burnley area to live and work. Despite a less than spectacular playing career I remain a well known name in the town.
6a My name ……………………………………………. (3 POINTS)
6b. Who was the former England international who kept me out of the team (2 POINTS) ………………………………………
6c. Who is my cousin who played and scored for England in a full international (2 POINTS)
