I think it is very poor of the club to release this information with a typo showing the name of Jimmy Mcllroy spelt incorrectly.

Is this how we came 2nd to Ipswich in 1962? Genuine question as I was too young.
We played 10 league games in April ‘62 + an FA cup semi final replay, winning just one of the league fixtures.

Re: Funniest thing you have seen at a football match

Wycombe away on a Tuesday night in April 1997. Losing 4-0 at half-time, Rocky & Selwyn took off their Burnley tops and threw them into the back of the net in disgust. They then indulged in a bit of playful topless wrestling & watched the second half bare-chested.

Re: Have you ever left a Clarets game early?

I left West Brom when we were losing 8-0 in November 1967 (Jeff Astle scored 5), and missed Arthur Bellamy's late consolation goal. To make the day even worse I was hitchhiking with 2 mates and we ended up sleeping in a field somewhere near Walsall, finally getting home around Noon the following day.

I don't think Chuck Berry played at Th'Imp, but he did appear at King George's Hall. Some weeks I would watch Burn...

I remember seeing him down the Imp where he was billed as "Fat Boy Billy Stewart". Late sixties I think, around the time his version of Summertime was in the charts.
