Reseña del editor

This work includes over a thousand nuggets of Burnley FC trivia that is sure to entertain every fan! It is written by lifelong Burnley fan and David Wiseman, best-selling author of many "Burnley FC" publications. It offers review coverage in local press and football media; POS available. Burnley Football Club comes from the smallest town ever to win the League Division One, and the F.A. Cup. Some big city clubs at present in the Premier League have won neither! Their history sparkles with international players, 'football firsts' and record breaking achievements. Among their players have been a Footballer of the Year, one who played for Great Britain, several who played in World Cups, and at least one who captained his country. But this book is one which is mainly 'off the record'. Here you can read some of the queer, quaint and quirky things that have been part of the past 125 years in Clarets history. Who scored three goals for England and was never picked again? When did Burnley play ten Scots in the first team, making the only Englishman feel 'lonely'? And what has golf in a hotel bedroom got to do with anything? When Burnley were in Division Four, how was it that they attracted over 80,000 to watch them in one game? When did ten Blackburn Rovers players walk off the pitch? Which position did Blackadder play in the Burnley team? And which bricklayer became the club's greatest ever player? 'Read all about it!' in "The Little Book of Burnley Football Club".
