Hi Everybody, this is usually the place to come for all things Claret.
A friend is looking for a Burnley FC Team Photo from 1985/85 Season for his daughter as she was born September 1985 and obviously her Birthday is approaching.
Any ideas where such a thing might be found?

There's a thread on here with old Burnley pics.
There's a Facebook group called Burnley FC memories with plenty.

If it's convenient, the archive in Burnley library, (downstairs), has a huge amount of Burnley fc memorabilia.

Friend finally managed found a photo in a Hereford United programme from season 85/86.
I'd never heard of Andy Kilner, Donald Duncan (really!) John Keen or Mark Rawstron!

Belting picture, I used to play on the same team as Mark Rawstron (Rossi), top lad.

I can't take the credit for the photo as my pal sent it to me but having been so difficult to find one I thought it worth sharing. How long was "Rossi" a BFC player?

I think from memory, ( so a bit sketchy ) a couple of years, think he played for the first team, but not many times.

Andy Kilner I knew well because he lodged with a friend of mine. He was the only one of the four to play in the first team. He was manager at Stockport for over two years when they were in what’s now the Championship.

Mark played a few 1st team games and like said above a top lad, Donald was a Scottish lad ( centre half ) who it's fair to say liked a drink, on the first day of pre-season training 1986 Donald spent most of the session spewing, Jimmy Holland and George Bray were going mental, never heard of John Keen and only met Andy Kilner a couple of times, I think he lodged at the same place as Trevor Steven . C.T may be able to confirm
