The Football History of Burnley Book

THE SNOW is thick at Turf Moor, the ball barely visible on the white pitch. Burnley push forward. Leighton James picks it up wide left, dances past one, then two — the crowd rises. He cuts inside, lets fly from 25 yards ... it’s in! An unbelievable goal! The stands erupt. In the blizzard, brilliance. Fulham beaten, Turf Moor bouncing.
