FORMER Burnley chairman Barry Kilby has been presented with Honorary Life Membership by the Clarets Trust.

He was also presented with two inscribed whiskey glasses. The presentation was attended by Terry Hephrun and Jane Pike, Trust board members as well as chair of the Trust, Peter Pike.

He said: "This is a token of thanks for all Barry had done for Burnley Football Club. Frank Teasdale had kept the club alive during the most difficult period in its history.

"Barry had then injected money into the club and taken on the post of chairman which had effectively seen a rebirth of the club. Promotion had then followed and ultimately after 33 years a place in the Premier League for the first time.

"Five years later a second spell in the Premier League and a record of achievement over the past few years the envy of many other clubs.

"Thanks Barry for all you have done for the Clarets."
