On this day

One of the FB pages i follow shows pages of results from the past, this time it is November 1975. There are a number of scorers with past or future links to our club, I will give the teams and see if you can work out who the players are.

Burnley lost 1-5 at home to Wolves, 2 of the Wolves goals scored by a player with links
Newcastle 1-2 Liverpool a scorer on each side
AFC Bournemouth 1-0 Scunthorpe

On this day, in 1922 BBC begins daily radio broadcasts from the 2LO transmitter at Marconi House.
Not sure who Burnsley were playing.

I remember the Wolves game. I think I left after the fifth went in. Was Steve Kindon playing that day? And Geoff Palmer?

Brian Hall scored for Liverpool and Geoff Nulty scored for Newcastle.

Wasn't John Bond in charge at Bournemouth around that time?

He may well have been. This player followed him to a number of clubs

That Wolves game was painful.

Have some pain! It doesn't even show our goal:

I always thought Kindon scored in this match!

Correct. That's all done.

A new year just been posted, 1969. Lots of FA cup first round games so only Div 1 & 2 games and only 1 scorer with a link to our club.

PNE 4-1 Birmingham. 2 goals for PNE but who was the scorer with the Clarets link?

Think I might know. He'd been there around 18 months at the time...

Willie Irvine?

Correct, it was the great Willie Irvine. I knew CTID would get this one

Herts Clarets · Post by **Herts Clarets** » Fri Nov 15, 2024 7:28 pm

Now we are looking back to 1997 and scorers with a link to our club. Scorers for:

Stockport County
Ipswich Town
Gillingham
Chesterfield
PNE
Scarborough

Can you name the scorers?

aclaretinstevenage · Post by **aclaretinstevenage** » Fri Nov 15, 2024 8:45 pm

Stockport - Paul Cook?

aclaretinstevenage · Post by **aclaretinstevenage** » Fri Nov 15, 2024 8:48 pm

Ipswich - David Johnson or Danny Sonner?

Great match/fans/atmosphere in the ground.
Walked back to Earls Court tube station surrounded by moaning Chelsea fans, that lovely warm feeling stayed with me until every one had gone their separate ways

aclaretinstevenage · Post by **aclaretinstevenage** » Sat Nov 16, 2024 4:54 pm

So! In the case of Gillingham didn't the player in question get sent off within 2 minutes of making his debut for Burnley?

Anonymous Claret · Post by **Anonymous Claret** » Sat Nov 16, 2024 5:11 pm

Without cheating.

Possibly Eyres or Nogan for PNE

Herts Clarets · Post by **Herts Clarets** » Sat Nov 16, 2024 6:42 pm

Eyres for PNE and Akinbyi for Gillingham

aclaretinstevenage · Post by **aclaretinstevenage** » Sat Nov 16, 2024 7:44 pm

Liam Robinson - Scarborough

Back to 1996 and in the day we beat Lincoln City 2-1 in the first round of the FA Cup with goals from Nigel Gleghorn and Damian Matthew, players with links to our club scored for:

Kidderminster Harriers
Rochdale
PNE
Chester City

But who were the scorers?

Rowls · Post by **Rowls** » Sun Nov 17, 2024 9:01 am

Paul Constive for Chester?

Claret Till I Die · Post by **Claret Till I Die** » Sun Nov 17, 2024 10:32 am

Mark Yates for Kidderminster

David Reeves for Preston?

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Nov 17, 2024 10:37 am

Can't offer any for PNE or Kidderminster other than than the ones CTID has given. Have no idea on Chester but I think it will be either Andy Farrell or John Deary for Rochdale.

Herts Clarets · Post by **Herts Clarets** » Sun Nov 17, 2024 3:36 pm

The great John Deary for Rochdale
Yates for Kidderminster
Reeves for Preston

Just need the Chester scorer

Remember watching that Wolves game on MOTD. We weren't on often.

The one thing I recall was it ******* down on the poor souls standing on the Beehole. Just to make matters worse.

The Chester Scorers on that day were Stuart Rimmer (2) and Andy Milner. Did either ever play for Burnley?

If they were their scorers then I’m not aware of either having played for us.

Typo in the post then. It has Andy Kilner as the scorer.

Herts Clarets · Post by **Herts Clarets** » Sun Nov 17, 2024 8:13 pm

Back to 1984 now and to an FA Cup weekend that saw the Clarets delivering a thumping 9-0 victory away at Penrith. Meanwhile players for the following sides with links to our club also found themselves in the scoresheet. But who were the players?
Everton x2
Birmingham City
Scunthorpe United
Bury
Stockport County
Tranmere Rovers

aclaretinstevenage · Post by **aclaretinstevenage** » Sun Nov 17, 2024 8:15 pm

Surely Everton will be Trevor Steven and Adrian Heath.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Nov 17, 2024 8:29 pm

Maybe Helliwell for Scunthorpe

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Nov 17, 2024 8:29 pm

Bury - long list there playing for Dobbo
