Our forward line will maybe be a bit bare tonight and we are on TV, hope we don't turn in a good performance though and pull something out of the bag.

My first ever game at the Turf.1954 or 1955.Burnley V Newcastle.

Score 0-1 (Jackie Milburn)

The only player I can remember playing for us was McKay.I had a seat in the stand with my Dad & uncle but subsequent games we transferred to the Enclosure.
