Clarets Mad Daily
Competition
Burnley's win against Liverpool was watched by fans all around the world and today people are reading about the great win that saw us put the Premiership side out of the FA Cup.
From time to time a football match report is worth more than a second glance and one that's the case with one from the national press this week.
On 18th May 1882 what seemed at the time like a fairly insignificant meeting took place at Burnley's finest hotel.
The Clarets, top of the league, are set to take on second place Manchester City at Maine Road with a four point lead going in to the game.
In early May 1960 Burnley travelled to Maine Road to play Manchester City in their final game of the season knowing that a win would see them win the First Division Championship. This was how the Burnley Express reported it.
The Clarets were preparing for the local derby at Preston on 9th December 2001 already top of the league and the possibility of going four points clear.
Glen Little made his comeback from injury on Tuesday against Palace and was much sought after following the game.
On Tuesday 28th December 1999 Burnley entertained Oxford United in a Second Division game that was to be our last game of the 20th Century.
There is one article from the National press that features on most web sites run by Burnley fans, an article written by John Sadler for the Sun newspaper.
The Clarets won the FA Cup for the first and, so far, only time in their history by beating Liverpool 1-0 at Crystal Palace in 1914.
