Colin Waldron and Jim Thomson. I think Waldron had only been at Chelsea for about 6 weeks and may have come from Bury

I remember one early series of Panini -type stickers included Jim Thomson, as a Claret, but in a Chelsea shirt.

Frank Sinclair?
Re: Quick Quiz CT excluded
I was thinking Waldron and Thomson who were the CB's during the Adamson era. I am thinking of setting slightly more challenging quick quizzes on a regular basis. No offence Tony but you're too smart by half. I don't know how your general knowledge is but if it's anything like average consider mastermind, your specialist subject would make you a sure winner

CT was in a meeting and has only just seen this but the only players I've seen us sign from Chelsea are Colin Waldron and Jim Thomson other than the more recent three loans. We also signed Billy Gray from them in the 1950s but he was a winger.

Only the specialist subject though - I'd probably not score a point on the general knowledgegtclaret wrote: ↑Wed Jan 06, 2021 6:32 pmI was thinking Waldron and Thomson who were the CB's during the Adamson era.

Re: Quick Quiz CT excluded
On the subject of Billy Gray - we sold him to Nottingham Forest after four years at Burnley. He went on to also become their groundsman.
Billy passed away on the day of the Nottingham Forest v Burnley game in 2010/11 when a minute's silence was observed.

My spelling has never been good, for example I can never spell armagedun, but that's not the end of the world is it?

John Talbut made his debut for West Brom at Burnley and scored an own goal in the opening minutes - sadly passed away last year.

Wasn't Mick Docherty on Chelsea's books when he signed? Only at youth leveI I thinkClaretTony wrote: ↑Wed Jan 06, 2021 7:22 pmCT was in a meeting and has only just seen this but the only players I've seen us sign from Chelsea are Colin Waldron and Jim Thomson other than the more recent three loans.

PS Richard Nartey in the current setup?

Re: Quick Quiz CT excluded
Mick Doc was only 15 or 16 when he came to Burnley and we didn't sign him from Chelsea although he'd been there as a schoolboy when his dad was manager. He sent him to us.
Richard Nartey has been at Chelsea although we didn't sign him from them.
