Anyway, that sublime left-footed goal from Doug Collins is forever etched in the memory.

On that Sheffield game with my dad.
We'd no idea what a season we were going to have.
Great start though!

It is 50 years I’m afraid. I covered the 1972/73 season two years early to fill in during the pandemic but will now cover the next three years from the start of the 73/74 season.Royboyclaret wrote: ↑Tue Jun 13, 2023 10:01 amCan't be 50 seasons ago surely.....Where has that gone ?

We pretty much took over Bramall Lane that day......Dobo scored a superb goal, but Doug's was something else.Buxtonclaret wrote: ↑Tue Jun 13, 2023 10:14 amOn that Sheffield game with my dad.

Dobo's goal just before half time was the outstanding moment of the game, hitting a 23 yard shot on the run into the far corner. Doug's free kick on the edge of the box earlier took a big deflection off the wall and completely wrong-footed the keeper. We were indebted to Alan Stevenson in the 2nd half for making some brilliant saves.

Re: ARTICLE: Bramall Lane start for Adamson’s promoted Clarets
I still say the 1972-73 season was the best in the time I’ve been watching Burnley. However what the 1973-74 season had in store will forever be etched in my memory. Some marvellous matches. The 2-1 Boxing Day win over Liverpool was my favourite at the Turf.

Re The Sheffield United game has anyone got a link to the goals on YouTube or something. I’ve seen them in the past - Burnley played in the dark blue shirts light blue shorts I think?

Re: ARTICLE: Bramall Lane start for Adamson’s promoted Clarets
Think I can safely say I expected us to win. We'd had such a great 72/73 that I believed it would continue. Some great results after this had me even more convinced that we were a force to reckon with. Taken aback more than a bit when we ran out in a kit totally alien to anything we'd worn away before. Great days.
Re: ARTICLE: Bramall Lane start for Adamson’s promoted Clarets
I was at this game. The blue away shirt with claret trim looked good. We played really well in this game and I was excited for the season ahead. Only downer was I copped a punch on the nose exiting the away end.

I thought Dobson's goal was a freekick.

Later start to the season then. Will be late August when we get underway. UTC will be reporting from Bramall Lane on the 50th anniversary of the game.

There were no away ends then, you could go in any part of the ground.

Didn't Mick Doc go off hurt to be replaced by Peter Noble?

Slight deflection of the wall maybe, but the precision of the free-kick was something to behold.sjb wrote: ↑Tue Jun 13, 2023 10:37 amDobo's goal just before half time was the outstanding moment of the game, hitting a 23 yard shot on the run into the far corner.

Doug had that in his locker and Lionel Messi would have been rightly proud.
A smug journey home to Lancashire that Saturday, for sure.

Re: ARTICLE: Bramall Lane start for Adamson’s promoted Clarets
Yes, I know. Was just describing it from any perspective a fan would have of Brammal Lane today. We, for example, were towards their Kop on the same side the players came out from.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Tue Jun 13, 2023 4:49 pmThere were no away ends then, you could go in any part of the ground.
Re: ARTICLE: Bramall Lane start for Adamson’s promoted Clarets
It was indeed the game when Tony Currie "did" Mick Docherty.
Standing behind the dugouts I remember hearing the warming up substitute, Peter Noble, being asked by someone from the Burnley bench whether he had ever played full back.
The reply must have been positive as Noble, signed as a forward, slotted in at right back and remained there I think for the rest of the season.

Re: ARTICLE: Bramall Lane start for Adamson’s promoted Clarets
We may have outnumbered them in the away end. You'd expect that. We had a much bigger following in the FA Cup in the early '90s when Adrian Heath scored a couple in a 2-2 draw. 8,000 there that day.Royboyclaret wrote: ↑Tue Jun 13, 2023 4:48 pmI was unfortunate to be in the away end that day and, seriously, we outnumbered them five to one at least.
One of the best away days ever, particularly for Doug's special goal.
Re: ARTICLE: Bramall Lane start for Adamson’s promoted Clarets
And for those who remember there were only 3 sides with stands. The cricket pitch was still there.
Re: ARTICLE: Bramall Lane start for Adamson’s promoted Clarets
Sorry Tony just read OP and reference to 3 sides!

Their new stand was a bigger version of the Bob Lord stand except it was cantilever. The memory sure does play tricks though, I was certain it was there for this game.

It's the finer detail of a matchday you tend to forget.....the collective intake of breath as we emerged from the tunnel before kick-off was something special that day......Darkish blue shirts with Claret trimmings, White shorts and Claret socks......We really looked the business and went on to play like it.......
......Whatever happened to that away strip ?
