21 years ago Duffo joined the Clarets from Cheltenham.

Another fantastic acquisition by then manager, Steve Cotterill.

Think his fee was in the region of £30,000

What are your favourite memories of Duff, silly Wembley dance aside

:D

Showing my age - still remember him being the absolute dogs gonads on Championship Manager before he even joined us.

His assist for the first goal I'd seen against Blackburn in my lifetime.

Cotterill certainly rated him... He even started him up front once! :D

Given the state we were in, club wise, he signed some good lads, did Cotts.

Running to catch up with arfield at deadwood. Fastest I’ve seen him run.

Chelsea away in the cup. Great pen too.

Wembley - solid at right back.

Sacked by Huddersfield far too soon, they won one game after Duff's sacking !

One of my pals is a Hudds fan - he wasn't impressed with him at all. But I don't think he's impressed with anybody.

Absolutely has to be this.

And it wasn’t long before this that the two combined in a different way to let a 1-0 lead slip against them at home. So even more of a reason to love their reaction here.

I have one of his boots from the day we got promoted Vs Wigan. He passed it to my kids on the pitch.
Top man.
