Interesting to read those pre 1951 names.

I now have my mum's autograph book which includes two full pages of a 1948 team.

I hope I have attached correctly
Proper signatures using a fountain pen, love it!

Just look at the crowd behind the team on the cricket photo. What players names do you still have missing on the first 2 pics ?

This website looks pretty good. It shows various matches between Burnley reserves v Liverpool reserves with team names and match reports, from the Central League after the war in the 40s/50s.

Top Photo, front row bottom left is my Father GordonHaigh he signed for Burnley in 1946 till 1950. Top right is Jack Butterfield ( he suffered a badly broken leg and had to retire)
As I skimmed this I read; "Father Gordon Haigh" - a priest playing for us.
