From the meeting in the Bull Hotel in 1882 to the record-breaking triumphs of today, Burnley Football Club has created 143 years of unforgettable moments. Now, for the first time, the 100 greatest of these moments are brought together in one passionate celebration of the Clarets.
This is the story of a small Lancashire mill town that produced a football club capable of winning league championships, reaching FA Cup finals, and competing in Europe. It's the story of genius like Jimmy McIlroy, resilience through relegation to the Fourth Division, and Sean Dyche's unprecedented decade of Premier League success. Most importantly, it's the story of the supporters who've kept faith through every triumph and struggle.
WHAT'S INSIDE:
Relive the glory days of 1921 and 1960 when Burnley stood as champions of England. Experience the European adventures of the 1960s when the Clarets competed against continental giants. Survive the dark years of the 1980s when the club dropped to the Fourth Division and faced bankruptcy. Celebrate the 1990s revival under Jimmy Mullen and the unforgettable Wembley triumph of 1994. Marvel at Vincent Kompany's record-breaking 101-point Championship season in 2022-23.
From Wade Elliott's goal that delivered Premier League football to Robbie Blake's penalty that beat Manchester United. From the genius of Jimmy McIlroy to the dedication of Josh Brownhill. From Turf Moor's record attendances to away followings that became legendary across English football. Every era is represented, every type of moment celebrated.
PERFECT FOR:
- Lifelong Clarets wanting to relive the glory days and remember the heroes who wore the claret and blue
- Younger fans discovering the rich history behind the club they love
- Anyone seeking the perfect gift for the Burnley supporter in their life
- Football historians interested in how a small-town club has competed with England's elite for over a century
Written in an authentic supporter's voice, this book captures what makes Burnley special: working-class pride, community spirit, and the refusal to accept that size determines success. No corporate speak, no sanitized history - just honest, passionate storytelling about a remarkable football club.
COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE: Ten chapters spanning 1882 to 2025, including Foundation and Early Glory (1882-1920), the Championship Years (1920-1939), Post-War Struggles and Resilience (1945-1959), The Golden Era (1959-1966), the difficult decades of Decline and Fall (1971-1987), the Jimmy Mullen Revival (1991-2000), Stan Ternent's promotion campaigns (2000-2009), Premier League Dreams Realised (2009-2015), The Dyche Dynasty (2016-2022), and Recent Times including Kompany's record-breaking season.
Each moment is explored in depth with context, drama, and significance explained. Discover how these matches, goals, and achievements shaped the club and created the Burnley FC we know today. This isn't just a list - it's 100 stories that together tell the complete history of one of English football's most resilient clubs.
Whether you were at Wembley in 2009, witnessed the 1960 championship, endured the Fourth Division years, or are just beginning your journey as a Claret, this book celebrates the moments that made us who we are.
Up the Clarets. Always.
