Posh Claret

Mike Stokes has supported Burnley Football Club for well over 60 years, but he has never lived within 100 miles of Turf Moor. Home games have

always entailed long and sometimes arduous journeys before and after the match. This is not intended to be a history of Burnley FC, neither is

it only about Burnley FC, so Mike has included memories of watching various other teams. This is a book not just for Burnley fans but also for any

retro football supporters.

It does not pretend to be an informed critique of players past and present, it is instead an explanation of why an OAP continues to don a claret and blue scarf and drive 340 miles every other Saturday!
