Post by Tricky Trevor » Tue Apr 11, 2023 10:32 pm

Just been looking back at your 100 greatest moments. You wrote it in 2002 and I wondered, when you have the time, if you could choose some from the last 20 years and where would you slot them in. I believe the other place has copyright on it so I'll just list the top 30 for those that haven't had the pleasure of reading them.
1. 1959-60 Champions
2. 1987 The Orient game
3. 1914 FA Cup win
4. Jimmy Mullens C&B Army at Derby
5. 1920-21 Champions
6. Tommy Cummings Goal v. Newcastle
7. 1960 Spurs 4 Burnley 4
8. 1972-73 Div 2 Champions
9. Bertie Bees rugby tackle
10. Ian Wrights signing
11. 1920-21 30 games without defeat
12. Willie Irvines 28th goal at Villa Park
13. John Bonds white suit
14. 1991-92 Div 4 Champions
15. Sept 1961. 17 away goals in a fortnight
16. The Ginger Pele
17. 1999-2000 Promotion
18. Jimmy Adamsons "team of the 70s"
19. Louis Page 6 goals in a game
20. Swanky Pants Dog Troupe
21. Jimmy Mullen P9 W9
22. How many yellows make a red?
23. Two fan protests
24. 1981-82 Champions
25. Alex Elder OG
26. Adam Blacklaw save from Uwe Seeler
27. Frank Caspers 100th goal
28. 1994 Play Off win
29. Billy O'Rourkes debut
30. Billy Elliotts "look of intent"

I’d have the Spurs league cup game in there.

A Blake masterclass and superb performance, despite ultimately going out of the cup. Another brilliant night in an amazing season.

If I think back to the utter shite that I had to endure as a kid growing up as a Burnley fan, I can only look on at the youngsters at the Turf these days and think they don’t know how lucky they are!

Just doing a bit of quick maths, there are teens who'll be going to university this year whose earliest ever memory watching Burnley could be the playoff final. Jesus Christ.

Bit of a hijack of the thread but has a Burnley keeper scored from open play? I can’t even recall seeing a Burnley keeper score a penalty, unless I’m forgetting something obvious.

Frightening isn’t it - seems two minutes ago!

It really is a great time to be a Burnley fan!!

Didn’t Chris Pearce take a pen in a shoot-out?

That! A highlight for my Mrs would be our 1 - 3 win at Scunthorpe in about 1991 or 92; she'd come with me to watch Burnley perhaps two dozen times over the preceding 5 or 6 years - admittedly all away games - but that was the first time she saw Burnley win.

I mentioned this on another thread recently. Harry Thomson scored from open play at Chorley in a Lancashire Senior Cup tie during the 1965/6 season. A drop kick from his own box.
