-- Reviews by the Famous and well Known
Congratulations to Chris and Kevin. A tremendous amount of research has gone into the publication. I had to do a bit of research myself for the questions on Page 20!
I’m not saying if I was 100% correct! But I’ve got to own up - it was a little embarrassing!
Interesting to see Adam Blacklaw’s name on the League goalscorers list. That did stump me!
But what could be better for any passionate Clarets fan, returning from victory from far flung places such as Plymouth or Ipswich, than improving their knowledge of their Football Club, the history, the tradition, the players and the managers.
Magic!

As Burnley Football Club rides high in the Championship, this could be the perfect time to delve into its proud history...
Clarets fans always claim they know every player who ever pulled on the club's famous jersey and this entertaining quiz book is sure to test their sporting knowledge to the limits!
In his foreword to the book, famous son Martin Dobson, who has a section dedicated entirely to his own career at the club, admits that some of the questions left him more than a little embarrassed...
This is because Cowlin and Snelgrove have put in hours of research to make this official quiz book a thoroughly challenging test for all passionate Clarets fans.
Bulging with fascinating facts spanning 100 years of history, the 800 questions cover all aspects of the club including players, opponents, transfers, nationalities, managers and matches.
Stars like Steve Cotterill, Ray Pointer, Harry Potts and Alan Stevenson feature strongly and there are testing questions on famous wins and losses, and defining matches against local rivals like Bury and Blackburn.
The authors aim to entertain and educate in equal measures and along the way they reawaken memories of the people and places that have made up the Clarets' long history.
Older fans can have fun matching famous players from years gone by - Jimmy Ross, Peter McKay, Willie Irvine and John Connelly to name just a few - with games in which they scored famous hat-tricks.
And how about answering questions on some memorable fixtures featuring the club's highest scoring victories, or recalling the final scores of famous FA Cup fixtures?
And watch out for some 'fouls' designed to keep fans young and old on their toes!
This tribute to one of Lancashire's most famous football clubs is sure to be a hit with the team's supporters and anyone who has a keen interest in the beautiful game.
