Random games from the past with no real significance
Simple just name me a Burnley game from the past that nobody will really remember or talk about….
I’ll start
Canvey Island in the FA Cup at the Turf, Ian Moore found his level and bagged a hat trick(I think) ?
Just out of interest I wonder if Canvey Island are the lowest level of opposition we have played in a competitive match at the time of the game ??
I’ll start

Re: Random games from the past with no real significance
Penrith would have been a similar level, when we beat them 0-9 in the FA cup.

Re: Random games from the past with no real significance
Not wanting to deviate too much, but I'd plump for Penrith in the cup back in the 80's as possibly the lowest level op we've played in a competitive match.ArthurShelby wrote: ↑Sun Jul 03, 2022 5:57 pmSimple just name me a Burnley game from the past that nobody will really remember or talk about….

Re: Random games from the past with no real significance
I recall going to Leyton Orient one year.
I can't remember if we won or lost but 3-0 sticks in my mind.
Anther I recall, was losing 5-1 away to Peterborough. We turned up late and missed our goal and watched Posh score 5.
Again, I can't remember a whole from these games or even when they were but I guess at some point in the 80s.

Wrexham 1-0 99/00. My first Burnley away game and Payton scored the winner. Think it was his 200th career goal.

Our 2-0 home victory over Rotherham in the promotion season, only because one of my nephews was amongst the mascots that day.

Scunthorpe Utd FA cup. About the 8th replay. Probably 1992 ish.
We won 5-0 and i seem to recall and absolute beauty of a goal from Jason Hardy.

Darlington away losing heavily and Clarets fans throwing pies onto the pitch and the Gulls feeding frenzy (if memory serves Inchy was sent off )

My 2nd away game Sheff Utd in the FA Cup. Drew 2-2 and Inchy scored both I think. I was 13 and it felt like we had half of Bramall Lane.

Cambridge away. I think Cook scored in the first couple of minutes and that's the last thing I remember. Apart from having a bacon sandwich at half time, which was odd.

Orient at home towards the end of the 86/87 season. Burnley won 2-0 with goals from Neil Grewcock and Phil Malley and if I remember correctly we scuppered Orients chance of promotion by beating them that day

Away at The Bescott Walsall. Dull game, just stood at the urinal, shout goes up. When I got back mate described Andy Cook's goal. We won 0-1
Never seen the goal anywhere.
Such is life!

Re: Random games from the past with no real significance
Having moved to Cornwall in the 80’s I was able to see us several times at Torquay and Exeter
First time at Torquay,lost miserably,remember hurling abuse at Tommy Cassidy..not fit to wear the shirt blah blah..sat in the home end with the bob lord equivalent types laughing at me..‘it’s just a game lad calm down ,our lads played well’ …
First time at Exeter ( I live here now ) , up from Cornwall,got lost,couldn’t find the ground,asked at heavitree police station,got directions……to the old rugby ground…grrrrr…eventually miraculously found st James,back then easy to park literally right outside so was on the ground at 3.20….just in time to see Exeter s first of a 3-0 mauling
These kind of games stick in the memory

Away to Doncaster in 88-89, a dark drizzly November we got beat 1-0 with a tepid performance after a few previous defeats. Stood on that open away end I said to my mate “what the hell are we doing here watching this ****”
And now we will view not being in Championship play-offs next year as a bad season!!

Walsall at home on the Turf in a FA cup replay in the 90s. Was a delay caused by a floodlight failure, think we won on penalties in the end.

I remember the game very well. It was my daughters first ever Burnley game. She’s 22 next month, and my dad has a framed photograph/print that I assume the club shop sold at some point. He bought it due to the significance of her first game.

Wycombe 4 Burnley 1, followed up the next season with Wycombe 5 Burnley 0. Living in London as a kid I didn't get to many matches. This was our closest one, 10 goals in 2 games, not bad...
Re: Random games from the past with no real significance
Barnet away in the FA Cup in late 1999. They were top of division 3, us top of division 2, and it was the first time I'd ever seen us on SKY. We won 1-0 when a Paul Cook cross flew into the net.
We won at Premier League Derby in the next round.

Re: Random games from the past with no real significance
Burnley 0 3 Reading in 2006
Bitterly, bitterly cold, we got absolutely trounced as Reading zoomed towards the title. We had Michael Duff playing up front, and Glen came on for Reading to a chorus of boos (I stood and applauded him on as he was my favourite ever player and frankly it was a way to keep warm).
Such an utterly irrelevant game for Burnley yet I always remember it because, for some reason I have no clue of, I was in the James Hargreaves Lower despite having a Jimmy Mac Lower season ticket at the time. We were sat in the area closest to the Cricket Field and I’ve never been so cold at a game.

Re: Random games from the past with no real significance
Two games....
My first ever game sometime in 1981 or 1982. Alan Stevensons testimonial vs Man City. Think we lost 3-2
My first ever competitive game was on 26th Feb 1983 against Charlton. We won 7-1 with hat tricks from Taylor and Hamilton I think. Alan Simonsen played for Charlton. He was European Footballer of the Year in 1977.

Burnley 9 New Brighton 0 in the 1950’s
Ian Lawson scored 5 of them on his debut. I think he scored three more in the next round too and one more in the fifth round away at Huddersfield. After that he didn’t score very many and played only occasionally.

I never realised they used to be called New Brighton. I wonder why they changed it to Brighton & Hove Albion?
Re: Random games from the past with no real significance
Worthington cup 2002 at home to Man United, first recollection of seeing a giant historic club at the Turf for me. Diego Forlan and Solskjaer scored in a 2-0 loss. People say Forlan was a Man United flop, he was excellent that night tho. We played them 2 years later in Stan's testimonial, not sure why Stan was given a testimonial? I thought it was a 10 years thing? Does Dyche not get one?
Re: Random games from the past with no real significance
That was a super strike as well. Volley from 30+ yards.
We always seemed to do well at Stoke.
We also drew 2-2 after being 2-0 down. Payton got the equaliser from the spot, and that horrible Kavanagh bloke with the grey hair had been in his ear the whole time he was waiting to take it.
In fact, I think the only time I’ve seen us lose there was our first ever PL game.

Beating Spurs 3-2 at WHL.. 73/4 season.. Hitched down from Rawtenstall overnight with Coady for company..
Arrived late, never saw a goal, and had to leg it out the ground before full time to avoid a kicking.
Blagged onto the Central Motors coach for a free ride home though.

Re: Random games from the past with no real significance
Pre season friendly away at Folkestone - one of three games played there (others were I think against Maidstone and QPR). When we played the home club game was abandoned due to floodlight failure. Always remember my dad shouting out “who’s he”, pointing at a young player to which the late, great Brian Miller turned round and said “David Miller …… my son” !
