Name the first team players on this pic

Post by ClaretTony » Sat Jun 03, 2023 12:11 pm

I doubt anyone would be able to name everyone on this picture but can you name the ones who went on to play in our first team?

The ones who did are numbers 1, 6 & 8 on the back row (between Joe Brown and Brian Miller) and numbers 4, 5, 6 & 7 on the front row.

Mick Doc, Ian Brennan, Colin Blant, Billy Ingham, Billy Rodaway, Leighton James don't know the last one.
That's my best stab at it!

I’d missed number 5 on the back row.

You’ve already got Colin Morris, Jeff Parton, Ian Brennan on the back row and Billy Ingham, Leighton James, Billy Rodaway, Micky Finn on the front row.

Just the lad next to Brian Miller to get. He played one first team game.

Alan Gordon (back row) 3rd from right. He used to play for Burnley reserves then sign my autograph book after the game. . He would walk in the rain down Yorkshire Steeet to the bus station and then he was sat behind me on the double decker bus up Manchester Road to Rosehill. Lavish lifestyle footballers in those days!
