Wembley play off win over Sheffield United is hard to beat for me!
Burnley vs Preston 11.sep 2010
It's simply got to be the final whistle of the Orient game.
I had spent the last week feeling as concerned as if a loved one was fighting for their life.
The match was pure hell. We had gone two up and then Orient scored. Those last 25 minutes were totally unbearable.
When the final whistle finally came I was a total wreck. I shed a tear and everyone embraced each other, even though we were total strangers.
I felt totally spent, in a daze put supremely proud of my club. Although at that time there was no logical reason to feel pride, I felt it in spades.
I NEVER want to go through that again.

I have tried to extinguish the memory 1959-60. At the final whistle I actually thought I'd had a heart attack. I was sat down with three of my mates on the Bee Hole End and my legs would not move.
When I looked three grown blokes (my mates) and lots around us were bawling their eyes out.
Me Too# I NEVER want to go through that again.
Thanks to the likes of Frank Teasdale, Barry Kilby, Basil Dearing and Clive Holt, hopefully we will never have to!![]()
The Orient game was one of those days which will always be remembered, including the 480 mile round trip from my home just down the road from Stockley Park, which had never hard of VAR in those days!
However, nothing will ever beat the feeling when the final whistle went on 2 May 1960 at Maine Road and we had become the Champions of England! That season was a brilliant season and, as a 13 year old who was in his 8th season going watching the Clarets, it was a dream come true. My dad was 45 years old at the time and there were tears in his eyes, although it was the second time they had been Champions in his lifetime but he did not get the chance to go to the Turf until he was 12 years old in 1927.
It was great returning home and seeing my mum welcome us home. although she was a season ticket holder at Blackburn and set off to Wembley a few days later to go and watch Rovers lose to Wolves in the Cup Final ---still, at least one part of the family was happy!
Aye Super. I dearly wish that I could have witnessed it but I only started watching the Clarets in April 1962.
Who knows what the future may bring?
Could you have imagined in 1960 that Burnley's survival would be hanging by a thread in 1987?
And, in 1987, could you ever imagine that 23 years later we would be back in the Prem?
Nothing is impossible and it's good to dream....Champs again in 2021, 100 years on?![]()
The simple answers are ---no ----we were so comfortable in the 1950s and 1960s.
As far as 1987 is concerned ---I thought that we would do well to carry on afterwards and progress ---I never, ever thought that we would get into the PL!
I am not carried away too much by the dream that we could become Champs in 2021 -----realism kicks in too much for that to be possible, however, you enjoy your dream!
Life's ups and downs, four failed marriages, family bereavements etc., etc, but Burnley Football Club have been the one true constant in my life. The daft thing is I love them now as much as when my grandad took me to my first game in 1957. Claret until I die!
Sean Dyche has now emulated the late great Harry Potts IMHO. I hope he stays for another decade at least...
