About the Book

This book is the fourth in the series 'Burnley FC - The Premier League Diaries'. Having successfully survived a Premier League season for the first time at the third attempt, eyes and minds focused on how the perennial underdogs would fare next time round. Unsurprisingly, the Bookmakers and many pundits foresaw a season of struggle and inevitable failure. However, that was not what the management, fans and anybody associated with the Clarets had in mind. Although minnows amongst the financial giants of probably the hardest league in world football our indomitable heroes don't see obstacles, only challenges. Rising to those challenges and starting the season with an unbelievable away triumph at reigning Champions Chelsea, the Clarets maintained their impressive form throughout a difficult but spiritually uplifting campaign. It had been 50 years since Burnley had graced the stage of competitive European football. Could the unthinkable be about to become reality? This book tells the story of the quest to bring those days of European conquest back to Turf Moor. Related in diary form by a man whose loyalty and support of this great club extends over half a century, it charts the highs and lows of a memorable campaign. The author intersperses the football action with tales of his other passion - walking in his native glorious north country. Tales of good hearted but intense rivalries between supporters of other local rival teams, and the sheer joy of tramping through bog-sodden fields are a feature to add interest for the non football fanatic. Will the story end in triumph or tears? One thing's for sure, if it's success, boy are we going to enjoy it! If it's failure, it won't be for the want of trying. Come on you Clarets!
About the Author: The author can best be described as a 'Vintage Claret'. Having seen his first Burnley game in the glorious 1959/60 English 1st Division Championship winning season, he has been a convert from that date. The intervening years have seen his beloved Clarets ride a veritable roller-coaster. From those heady days of the early 1960's, to the despair and almost ultimate extinction in 1987, he has seen the lot. In that time he has watched his heroes win all four major divisions of English football, a feat that not many supporters of other teams can claim. His working life, over 35 years of which were spent in the beleagured Lancashire Textile Industry, has often mirrored the fortunes of his home town club. The many 'lows' and occasional 'highs' have given him the resilience to withstand anything a football season can throw at him. True Football people, that is the fans who support their clubs through thick and thin, have been touched by a life consuming passion. Anybody who has not experienced this has missed out on a journey of powerful emotions that can both delight and dismay. How fortunate is the author to have been able to be a part of all this. Now retired, the author enjoys walking the hills and dales of his native Lancashire and neighboring Yorkshire. The camaraderie enjoyed whilst walking our magnificent countryside with new found friends is truly one of life's simple pleasures. What spare time left to the author is spent writing the diaries of Burnley FC's Premier League adventures. Long may they continue!
