[Bob Lorder]

Bit of a trivia question, I’ve no idea of the answer ..

Who was the last Burnley player to score 30 goals in a season & which season was it …

[HB Claret]

Mike Conroy ?

[TheFamilyCat]

Conroy in 91/92?

[wilks_bfc]

Most I’ve seen is 27 by Payton in the 99/00 season

That’s league goals btw so with cups could break 30

[Dazzler]

Willie Irvine
34 League & Cup goals 1965/66
29 in the League

[HahaYeah]

Kurt Nogan? about 1996.

Conroy only scored 30 league goals in 76 appearances over two seasons and a total of 40 goals in all 98+3 appearances

Still the best centre forward I've ever seen play for us and I don't think that will ever change. Willie scored all types of goals and I can still picture him running 60 yards at pace in a League Cup tie at QPR in 1967 before hammering the ball past the keeper. 3 months later and that dirty barsteward Morrissey at Everton albeit ended his Clarets career. Thanks for the memories Willie.

I remember getting his autograph whilst he was in plaster sitting at the side of the players entrance in the old Bob Lord stand. I actually reminded him of this fact when I bought him a pint of Guinness many years later in the hospitality area of the JH
He really benefited from having big Andy Lochead as a striking partner. So many of his goals came from Andy's knockdowns.

And they remained friends long after their careers had finished.

And they remained friends long after their careers had finished.

They gave ground tours and the vanger between them, when the groups zig tagged showed their friendship was a firm one.
