60+ years later the team still trips off my tongue.
It's not just that they were good players , it's more that ,even though most moved on, they embodied what it was to be Burnley.

Sad if those days are totally lost.

Worrall
Brownhill
Cullen
Vitinho
Jay Rod

Seem to be the only ones with any backbone. Let's hope Josh and Vitinho stay and we bring in 3 or 4 who have good solid characters, as it seems this squad has been extremely lacking in that.

'Good solid characters'
The team I quoted was full of them.

A prerequisite

I'm sure most supporters of a certain age will say that about any club,the game has changed dramatically, we're just catching up with it.

Yes
I'm sure that's the case.

It's getting old I really object to.

Spot on but the mercenary nature of modern football is fuelled by parasitic agents who need banning.
