Synopsis

The second book in the series, The Best of Burnley Volume 2 by Dave Thomas follows an anthological format covering Burnley Football Club that the author first established with the No, Nay, Never titles some 15 years ago. Dave Thomas has again followed his tried and tested pattern of selecting the best of Burnley writing, collating the work of other authors with their permission, and putting them together to produce a book of varied and entertaining pieces about the great east-Lancashire club. Few clubs produced as many great players in the 50s, 60s and 70s as Burnley FC. Drama abounded at Turf Moor with championships, promotions and relegations, and with European games and cup finals. This second volume reflects those highs and lows at the club and features excerpts covering superb manager Frank Hill, all-time great Brian Flynn, tremendous character Peter Swan and many more, giving a fascinating insight into the illustrious history of Burnley FC.

Author Bio
Former headteacher Dave Thomas started writing Burnley books in 2003 after he had retired from teaching. He has written biographies of managers and players, ghosted autobiographies, written season diaries, anthologies, magazine articles and more. Dave first began supporting Burnley in the `59/60 First Division championship season and has seen all the ups and downs over the years of promotions and relegations. A season ticket holder he travels from Leeds for every match as well as to many away games as possible. He has written 20 Burnley books over the years and with no shortage of subjects will continue to write more. Way back in 1987 as Burnley fought for its very existence, no-one could have predicted the recent years in the Premier League and a return to football in a European competition for the first time in 51 years.
