Golden Days: 1947-1976

Burnley enjoyed a long unbroken top flight spell ending in 1971 in which, more often than not, they were in the upper reaches of the League table. The 50s and early 60s saw the team revolve around the midfield engine room of Jimmy Adamson and Jimmy McIlroy. It was around these two that the championship-winning team of 1960 was built, managed by Harry Potts. Two years later the Clarets narrowly missed out on a League and Cup double. Other stars included John Angus, Brian Miller, John Connelly and Gordon Harris. The departure of McIlroy to Stoke City and retirement of Adamson coincided with a decline in fortunes; they nonetheless managed to finish 3rd in 1966. The remainder of the decade was otherwise one of mid-table mediocrity, with Potts being replaced by Adamson as manager in 1970. Adamson was unable to halt the slide and relegation followed in 1971. Jimmy Adamson was a English footballer and football manager. ... Jimmy McIlroy Born in Lambeg on the 25th of October 1931, Jimmy McIlroy is one of Burnleys greatest ever players. ... Harry Potts (b. ... Stoke City F.C. (known as Stoke F.C. until 1925) is a football club from Stoke-on-Trent in England. ...

Burnley won the Second Division title in 1973 with Adamson still in charge. In the First Division, led by elegant playmaker Martin Dobson, the side managed 6th in 1974, and 10th (despite Dobson being sold to Everton early in that season) in 1975. Relegation from the First Division in 1976 saw the end of Adamson's tenure as manager, and the club have not been back in the highest level since. Everton Football Club are an English football club from the city of Liverpool, founded in 1878. ...

Modern times

Burnley are one of the most famous clubs to fall from greatness in the last few decades. They won the league championship in 1960 but have been outside the top division since the 1970s, and for seven seasons after 1985 they were in the Fourth Division. They reached their lowest ebb in 1987, when only a win on the last day of the season saved them from relegation to the Conference. 1960 (MCMLX) was a leap year starting on Friday (the link is to a full 1960 calendar). ... The 1970s decade refers to the years from 1970 to 1979, inclusive. ... This article is about the year. ...

In 1991-92, they were crowned champions in the last ever season of the Fourth Division before the league re-organisation, and two years later they won the new Division Two playoffs and gained promotion to Division One under Jimmy Mullen, only to suffer relegation after just one season. In 1997-98 they narrowly escaped relegation into Division Three with Chris Waddle in the hot seat, but the appointment of Stan Ternent that summer saw the club's fortunes turned around. 1991 (MCMXCI) was a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ... Christopher Roland Waddle (born December 14, 1960) was a famous English footballer of the 1980s and 1990s. ... Stan Ternent (born 1946) is a former English footballer and later football manager. ...

In 1999-2000 they finished Division Two runners-up and gained promotion to Division One, where they have remained since. For the next two seasons, Burnley emerged as serious contenders for a promotion play-off place. However, by 2002-03 the side's form had declined despite a good FA Cup run, and conceded goals at an alarming rate. This was repeated the following season and in June 2004, Ternent's six-year reign as manager came to an end and since then Burnley have been managed by Steve Cotterill. Steve Cotterill's first year in charge ended with two cup runs, knocking out Premiership giants Liverpool and Aston Villa, and a 13th place finish in The Championship. Cotterill overhauled the squad with younger players and a notable improvement in the side's defensive record in 2004-05. The season gave football its first real glance at Aston Villa's Gary Cahill - a future England star, on loan at Turf Moor during the season. This year's Carling Cup third round draw has once again paired Burnley with Villa, though the Clarets travelled to Villa Park this time round. The score finished 1-0 to Aston Villa and Burnley were knocked out of the Carling Cup. 1999 (MCMXCIX) was a common year starting on Friday, and was designated the International Year of Older Persons by the United Nations. ...
