Selected For Wales Under-23 Squad

Three Turf Moor people who are entitled to smile despite the disappointments of last weekend. Leighton James and Jeff Parton were both selected this week for the Wales Under-23 squad for the game against England at Swindon on January 5th, and they are pictured with Burnley chief scout Dave Blakey, who "discovered" them. Neither players have appeared in an Under-23 game yet, but James has two full caps!
