Re: PREVIEW: Cup night against Derby
That game in the early 90s was one of my first. Eli became an instant favourite. I hadn't realised McMinn played against us that day! Another one who'd be a fav of mine, legs completely gone but still a class above.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Tue Aug 26, 2025 11:53 amBurnley v Derby preview

I've just realised that could be interpreted as a cruel joke! Not what I meant..willsclarets wrote: ↑Tue Aug 26, 2025 1:21 pmThat game in the early 90s was one of my first.

Re: PREVIEW: Cup night against Derby
Steve Davis was quoted after that 2-2 draw against Derby and said of McMinn: "He’s a tricky player but I thought Ian Measham played him well. Ian got some good tackles in but I think he’s a cheat, McMinn. He cons referees.”willsclarets wrote: ↑Tue Aug 26, 2025 1:21 pmThat game in the early 90s was one of my first.

Re: PREVIEW: Cup night against Derby
Are we expecting a Tresor appearance? I'd love to see him start.

I remember McMinn conning the referee once and winking at the crowd.

Re: PREVIEW: Cup night against Derby
Am I correct that it’s straight to penalties if draw at full time?
Re: PREVIEW: Cup night against Derby
Was my first ever game. Funny that Ted McMinn and his long hair was one of only things that ended up sticking in my mind.willsclarets wrote: ↑Tue Aug 26, 2025 1:21 pmThat game in the early 90s was one of my first.
