JOHN Francis scored Burnley's greatest ever goal, according to readers of Total Football.

The magazine asked supporters to choose their club's top goal.

And Clarets fans who replied opted for Francis's strike against York City at Turf Moor in April, 1992 which clinched the Fourth Division title for Burnley.

Francis, meanwhile, is now playing for Bradford Park Avenue in the UniBond League First Division but is currently serving a ban until the New Year because of an incident in Sunday League football.

Past and present Burnley players are also credited with the best goal scored for other clubs.

Midfield schemer Paul Cook scored Stockport County's finest goal, accoring to the Total Football fans' poll, against Manchester City in November, 1997.

And ex-boss Chris Waddle warrants two entries for his free-kick for Sheffield Wednesday in their 1993 FA Cup semi-final against Sheffield United and another Cup goal he scored for Bradford at Everton in January, 1997.

One of Kurt Nogan's two goals against Arsenal in the FA Cup last season earns the vote of Preston North End supporters.
