Best Burnley Sunday League teams and players
Burnley Sunday League is terrible now about 10 teams in one division, not a good standard. The Blackburn league on the other hand is still going strong a few divisions and lots of teams
I caught the end of the decline where George IV cleaned up and won everything.
Who did you play for and who were the best teams and players in your era ?
Any memorable incidents, matches ? Trophies ?

Re: Best Burnley Sunday League teams and players
Not Burnley Sunday League but played against Oli Norwood and Matty James a few times playing for St Teds and Fearns. Both were at United at the time but Norwood always stood out a lot more than James did.

Ollie was a few years above me at Teds. Played against him on the yard
Re: Best Burnley Sunday League teams and players
I briefly remember a few teams with Burnley Wood affiliations being half decent, CWR scaffolds, George IV, there were always plenty of good games to be had.
I started my adult Sunday league with Red House, then had a stint with St Paul’s and finished off playing for the Dugdale. It’s a shame to see the state of grassroots football at the minute, like you say, gone from a good few divisions with plenty of teams in each, to basically nothing now.

He’s had an unbelievable career, over 50 international caps, played in a euros and spent his whole career in the top two divisions, winning promotion 4 times from the championship.
I think 99.99% of footballers would settle for that

Re: Best Burnley Sunday League teams and players
When I played between 08-13 most decent Saturday players didn’t bother playing Sundays that often.
Gaz Stopforth was obviously different gravy when he played but he played at a very good level.

Re: Best Burnley Sunday League teams and players
Now we are talking. Ray was class - played with him at Grammar School Old Boys youth team when I was 16. We were in one of the Lancashire mens leagues on Saturdays but we had a couple of older players of which Ray was one.
For Sunday league I set up St Theodore’s Old Boys. Four divisions at the time and after winning the lower leagues and getting promoted we spent a good few years in to 2 or 3 of first division but never won it. We got to the Hospital Cup final and won the Towneley Cup (think that’s what it was called).
We were around for around 10 years I reckon - other than a couple of our lads best players in the league during that time were probably Kiko (Jays dad), Ian Monk and Leon Barnett.
Baz Barlow played for us and he was as good as anyone locally - great player.
Shame there’s been such a decline in local football - great days and still miss it a lot.

Re: Best Burnley Sunday League teams and players
Yep that’s probably right - but quite a lot did play for Belvedere or GSOB (or Burnley United) on Saturdays and for Sunday teams. If you were at the level above Belvedere / GSOB and playing semi pro then they tended to not play Sundays.Burnley1989 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2024 7:01 pmWhen I played between 08-13 most decent Saturday players didn’t bother playing Sundays that often.

For a couple of years when I was 16 I played 3 times in the weekend. Saturday morning for school St Teds first eleven ; Saturday afternoon GSOB and then in the Sunday League.
Oh the things you’d do when you were fit and healthy !!
One Saturday team I played for when I was 18 or 19 I think was Stanley United which was ran by the late Jez Rainford (who I believe played for England schoolboys). We had a really good team and played in Lancs league where we walked the leagues. It was a combination of ex Townley and St Teds lads…..some interesting characters !

Re: Best Burnley Sunday League teams and players
Played my first game at the age of twelve in 1988 on pitch eight at Towneley, played last one in 2008 when I'd had enough.
As was said above, there were four divisions of ten teams in the Burnley Sunday League with a surplus of players. Lads stood outside the dressing rooms asking if any teams were short of players.
Fast forward to late licenses in town and a complete collapse in local league football, the young lads would rather stay out till 6am than get muddy on a Sunday afternoon.
Not only did the council kill the nightlife but a large element of local football in the borough, something that'll never return.

Re: Best Burnley Sunday League teams and players
Was at Brierfield Celtic when I was a kid, we were awful but I only have good memories of spending Sunday mornings with my mates.
Later at Burnley Supporters Team, we were a great team and I think finished second in the supporters league. Some really good players there. Always remember the away game at West Ham, they were awful and we cleaned up but they were incredibly dirty

in the early 70s there was a lot of young talent around the Fulledge and Burnley Wood areas who today would have gone on and made it but in them day's it was hard to get trials at Burnley because Mr Lord like young players from outside of Burnley for some reason...

Some great days (and nights) were had. None more so than winning the Chas Express cup at Michelin, having had a full English breakfast including 3 pints before we kicked off.
Just in case I haven’t mentioned before, yours truly put in a man of the match performance and walked off with the most bizarre trophy on the planet. Think Barden high school remidial woodwork project gone wrong.

They started in league 2 with us but were streets ahead of everyone.
A few years before it was Ightenleigh and General Havelock fighting it out at the top and then them two teams merged. Not sure that merged team lasted that long.
I think the Angel picked up a lot of players from them.

Nope. It was a one year loan. Had to be returned so that the next, bright shining star, could have the pleasure.
Re: Best Burnley Sunday League teams and players
In the late 1960s there was a team called Albion Rovers who I understand were very good. My friend's older brother played centre forward for them - he was called David Allen, and I think his dad was the manager. Not sure if this was Sunday League but I was in awe of David, he looked like a giant to the 10 year old me.

during the time I played from early 80s to end of 90s for a big chunk of that time there was quite a lot of dross that got to don the famous claret shirt !
I played with and against a few who I thought had more talent than some of the dross. And I also realise how difficult it is to make a professional footballer and the big differences in speed, fitness etc.
On the other side I have also seen some ex pro players after they finished their pro careers play in the local amateur leagues and many of them stand out a mile as to how good they are. Usually it’s the first touch and how they strike a ball. They also often find themselves in space when they get the ball - a skill in itself. Strange how some are think as pig muck off the pitch but great footballing brain on it !!
Best ex pro I ever played against was Steve Heighway. He played in the Zingari league over in Liverpool and played against him in a cup match. Not sure how old he was but I was in my late teens and he had to have 20 years on me but he still looked really young and fit. He was ridiculously good and I am convinced he would have walked into the Burnley team at that time and been easily our best player !

I also played in a charity game once and was up against a very old Arthur Bellamy. He was simply sensational and although I must have had 20 years or more on him, I simply couldn't get anywhere near him. Like all sports, people who are genuinely talented always seem to make it look easy, but when us mortals try it we find it really, really isn't!

On the day it clashed with another game they already had scheduled but they wanted to play the charity game too (it was for a well known local sportsman who had passed away at a young age). So in the game I played in they brought in some new ex Burnley players to make their debut including Junior Bent.
It was a Sunday in a May and it was boiling - about 26 degrees.
I was in my late 40s and not played 11 a side for a few years - I was (and still am) playing 5 a side. They won 7-0 I think….Junior Bent ran riot.
That will be my last game !!!
Paul Smith scored a 30 yard strike and he was pinging 50 or 60 yards balls across the pitch with that sweet left foot.

Yep me too.
Hundreds of people watching and Bridge aswell as having some colourful characters playing shall we say also had a very interesting manager - I’m trying to be polite.
Paak United had a decent team - couple of really good players like Ajaz.
In reality I know these were different times but it was horrible to see the blatant racism they faced from opposition players and on days like the one you are referring to from many of the spectators too.
Undoubtedly it’s one of the reasons Paak United left the Sunday league shortly after.
It might have actually been Town Mouse and not the Bridge ? Bridge, Town Mouse, Railway - it was all pretty much the same lads playing for all of them

I just remember the game finishing 1-1 with a late equaliser which caused carnage amongst the spectators. Our game decided to finish 15 minutes early and retreated to the dressing room.

We won it again at Bank Hall I think
I got a hat trick and was presented with the hideous chunk of wood by Jimmy Robson
Have to say as his lad Craig was playing for us, that he’d have likely got the MOM as his surprising pace for a fat lad had kept us in the game defensively so that when I scored the first of my hat trick on 89 minutes it took us to extra time broke the spirit of Longside who having beaten us by 6 or so in both league games had walked out, being video’d, in suits before the game and then trotted out again being filmed in all orange ready to give us a pasting.

Paak ended up joining the Pendle Charity league. Always tough games against them, obviously the 10.30 am kickoffs played into their hands a bit when most of the opposition were hungover/still half cut.
