Read about the early European encounters such as beating Hamburg 3-1 in the 1961 European Cup Qtr Final 1st leg, the big wins on the domestic scene – the 6-1 thrashing of QPR, 6-0 thumping of West Ham, & the 7-2 massacre of Spurs in the early 1960s. Coverage also of beating Preston in 1973 to become Div2 Champions, & the long fight back from the late 80s when Burnley nearly dropped out of the Football league to more recent successes. A unique and wonderful gift and must have for all Burnley fans.
