Match Reports 1970's (Part Two)

Jimmy Adamson became Burnley's manager in 1970 and there were high hopes for the future, but he was unable to halt the slide and relegation followed in 1970-71. Two years later Burnley won the Second Division title but were unable to sustain their position and in 1976, following Adamson's departure in January, they were once again relegated. Teams from First and Second Divisions of the league can be found on this page together with Youth Cup matches, including the 5 Nations Under 19 Cup, League Cup matches, a Texaco Cup match and Friendlies. Prominent players include Paul Fletcher, Leighton James, Dave Thomas and Martin Dobson.
