Burnley Archive - Ex-Miller Frank Casper

[Muchthemillersson]

First thanks for that Geetarman.

Best I remember about Frank Casper was the goal he scored at Hillsborough in 1966,
The heavens opened that night, the rain poured & the Millers came away with 1-0 win.

Were you on their open kop singing "Singing in the Rain"?

Wasn't it Graham Watson and Dennis Leigh?

Yes it was although I think Graham Watson went back to Doncaster.
Dennis had a good career with us .

That was in the League Cup.Always a fan of Frank Casper.

Frank Casper didn't play as many games as he ought to due to the fact a certain Albert Bennet played up front.
Casper went on to have a good career at Burnley.
Barry Lyons was my favourite at that time and David Carver, a relative of a relative of mine.

I borrowed a flat cap off next door neighbour, the rain came down in bucket full's that night, we were
absolutely drenched, Frank Casper scored a scorcher from well out field.
Yes we were out in the open, but well worth it.

Wasn't it Graham Watson and Dennis Leigh?

I was thinking Graham Leigh, so got half of each player, instead of Dennis Leigh.
