Happy Birthday, Willie.

I must say though that it would be better to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILLIE int the title of the thread because, with just a name, something else always comes to mind.

Happy Birthday, Willie.
I became a Burnley supporter purely because, as a young boy, I played for a team coached by his brother, Joe. Still my all-time favourite BFC player.

Many happy returns and I hope you celebrate with a pint of Guinness. (I remember buying you one after you'd done a ground tour with us, way back when)

No.1, indeed.

Great to hear from Redders, good times outside the Park View.

All we need now is a contribution from Ashington46.....who was firmly in the Willie Irvine camp.
