Not for us no
but he was in the company of several other BFC legends like Dobo, Paul Fletcher, Colin Waldron to name a few.We didn't want to pester them too much as they were all having a quiet drink together but me and my friends did make ourselves known as lifelong Burnley fans and chatted to them for a few minutes and they were very friendly- true gents.

It's December, anything Christmassy is officially allowed now
I'm just glad I went for my more subdued BFC Xmas jumper for the visit to the markets this year rather than the one with a big Rudolph in a Burnley scarf on the front, Stan might have refused my photo request

He was sat at the other side of the pub from the others shouting through a megaphone.Bordeauxclaret wrote: ↑Fri Dec 03, 2021 11:21 amWonder if Fletcher discussed the under soil heating.

I bumped into Colin Waldron in the Manhattan Heights nightclub ages ago down Blackburn (now demolished)...the club, not Blackburn, unfortunately 
Great bloke, was pleased I recognized him, chatted for a while about his time at the Turf.

Dobbo won't remember, but I ran into him on Piccadilly Station just after Lord sold him to Everton.
I was too Star Struck to say much of any sense.

I thought it might be the 1970s squad's Christmas drink in Manchester. Stan has joined them in the last couple of years. Was Dobbo there? He's not always with them. Some really good blokes there who I know would have been more than happy to chat with you.Vintage Claret wrote: ↑Fri Dec 03, 2021 10:56 amNot for us no
