I was going to suggest Creaney. Seem to remember him scoring a big goal away at Luton in front of the Burnley fans? (memory might be wrong). Burnley have done pretty well over the years with loan signings, surely better than average? Memory very much correct on the goal at Luton - Creaney was defin...

Looked again and isn't, just has a likeness for Warren. And I think Walter would have been younger at the time of this pic.

Nice chap and full of apologies for his time at Burnley. Said he was in a bad place right then.

Timing is everything

And of course we all know about that bad place now

Frenchclaret - I knew Harold Mather, should have got that one.

ClaretTony

The ones we've got are Reg Kirkham (1st Burnley player from left on back row) and Colin McDonald next to him.

Second Burnley player from left on front row looks a bit like Warren Joyce so it is potentially his dad Walter?

I think we paid 5 grand for Pickering. +1 for Paul Shaw. He seemed to score every home game while he was on loan with us. I really wanted us to buy him but he wasn't interested in moving up north. Nathan Peel looked good on loan but didn't do much when we made the deal permanent. I remember a "peel...

The photograph below is believed to be of an ex-Clarets game (probably in the 1960s). I've identified, I think, two of them but don't know any others. Any clues from anyone?

You mean we actually signed him on a permanent deal?? I’ll swap him for Junior Bent!!! We did, but the lad was injured and shouldn't have been playing. He was awful for four games and then left out, and that was that. He played in the reserves during the following season and looked a good player. D...

No, Tony. It is about `influential` loan signings. Notice the ` `?? Open to interpretation. Is that OK for you????? I`m also well aware that his loan wasn`t made permanent, thank you. In what way was he influential during his loan? What was it he influenced? You weren't aware that his loan wasn't m...

Sevilla are charging Manchester United (away) fans £89 for tickets for their Champions League game. MU have retaliated. Sevilla fans will be charged £89 at Old Trafford with the club using the extra money to subsidise their own fans.

Prices continue to get ridiculous.

Influenced a lot of people`s thoughts about how a centre half could play football after the dross we had been served up from the late 80s. When he made his bow as a sub away at Lincoln I think a lot of people (certainly those standing near me) thought `this lad is a REAL player!`. So it proved to b...

Don’t think he won any more caps than Adam. Scotland used a lot of goalkeepersin that era and I’d think Bill Brown (Spurs) played the most often.

How times have changed, taken from the Liverpool official site this morning. So, with 390 appearances and three major trophies to his name at Anfield, one of the most popular and respected goalkeepers in LFC history took his acrobatics across to Tranmere Rovers in 1971. There he clocked up another 8...

Really was a legend at Liverpool - goalkeeper in the team that won promotion and started winning titles.

I wonder if someone can give a definitive answer to this? All agree that the Odeon closed in 1973. According to an article in the Burnley Express it was demolished in 1974, but the Express is not infallible. The 1973 is definite. Now I'm not sure whether the building was demolished the year after o...

Great news.

Certainly criminal to demolish the Odeon, (what an Art Deco gem it was), but I think you're wrong with the date. I think it closed in 1973 and was demolished almost immediately and replaced by a Sainsburys. (Sainsburys later relocating to its current site). It definitely closed in 1973 but, from me...

Would be interesting to know whether the fee (and possible loan fees) have covered his wages during his time with us. Otherwise the development squad isn’t really stacking up as a model.

We’ve had this debate before, Ablue but I think it’s plain to see that the team is slowly and steadily evolving under Dyche. We are playing more football this season and hold the ball much better whilst mixing it up a lot more. This sort of player could be the next step in that evolution. You have ...
