Jimmy Robson
Jimmy had a long association with the Clarets. He played over 200 league games before moving on to play for Blackpool, Barnsley and Bury. He returned to the Turf at the end of his playing career as player/coach under Jimmy Adamson's management and was involved with the reserves.

He worked for many years on the coaching side at clubs such as Huddersfield and Rochdale and returned to Burnley in 1998 as part of Stan Ternent's backroom team. His involvement was with the youth set up and he continued in that role until he retired in the summer of 2004.

Tomorrow the player who scored 100 goals for the Clarets, including 37 in 54 games during the 1960/61 season, is back as the first half time draw guest of the new season.
