BRIAN JENSEN: It’s difficult to not pick Alan Stevenson or Colin McDonald, who were great goalkeepers. However, I never saw Colin in action. Jensen has been absolutely phenomenal over the last couple of years. His consistency has been one of the reasons Burnley are where they are now.

August 2003 - present (from West Brom - free transfer) - 249 appearances.

JOHN ANGUS: I’ve got the highest of regard for John. He was a very intelligent footballer and also a quiet person off the pitch. He was very professional and disciplined in everything he did, and helped me when I was in midfield.

September 1955 - May 1972 (joined as amateur) - 521 appearances, 4 goals.

KEITH NEWTON: We had a very good side in the early 70s, but Keith filled the missing piece in the jigsaw when he came from Everton. He was a great reader of the game. I was captain of that side, which had an average age of 22 or 23, and he was 30 years old. He gave us that experience we needed.

June 1972 - May 1978 (joined from Everton - free transfer) - 253 appearances, 7 goals.

STEVE DAVIS: Unfortunately, I never had the pleasure of playing with Steve. After I left the club, I used to come back and watch them in the 80s and 90s and I thought his attitude towards the game was second to none. He was an outstanding defender. Steve’s a top character too and Burnley are lucky that he is now passing on his influence to the current players.

Nov 1989 (on loan) and August 1991 - July 1995 (from Notts County - £60,000) - 221 appearances, 25 goals.

STEVEN CALDWELL: I’ve played with a lot of very good centre-backs, but I think the current pairing of Caldwell and Clarke Carlisle deserves recognition. They kept it really tight last season, helping the club to promotion. I would pick Steven because he’s done ever so well as club captain over the past 12 months.

January 2007 - present (from Sunderland - £200,000) - 107 appearances, 4 goals.

RALPH COATES: Ralph had tremendous energy. He’s the type of player that you’d love to call on week in, week out. Time and again, he’d get past his defender and whip the ball in for the likes of Andy Lochhead and Willie Irvine. Ralph is such a popular name at Tottenham too and it was great to see him again during last season’s Carling Cup semi-finals.

May 1963 - May 1971 (joined as amateur) - 261 appearances, 32 goals.

DAVE THOMAS: We talk about the Cristiano Ronaldos of this world, but Dave had all the qualities to be an exceptional football. He had blistering pace, two great feet, he took on defenders for fun, and could provide all types of crosses. He wanted to be a winner. It’s lucky that he came to Burnley as a youngster, and not Manchester United or Leeds. He was superb.

Oct 1967 - Oct 1972 (joined as amateur) - 179 appearances, 23 goals.

JIMMY ADAMSON: Jimmy is a super guy and he gave everything to the club over 30 years, as a player, coach and manager I was lucky to come across his influence – he helped make me the player I was. He turned down the England job after the 1962 World Cup – that told you how loyal he was to Burnley.

Jan 1947 - Sep 1964 (joined as amateur) - 486 appearances, 18 goals.

JIMMY McILROY: Jimmy Mac was Burnley’s ultimate footballer. A real class act. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see him that much in action, but he’s acknowledged as the greatest Claret of all time and rightly so. He has earned all the accolades. You can speak to Clarets’ fans up and down the country and they will tell you what a great player he was. With Adamson, they make a fantastic partnership.

March 1950 - March 1963 (from Glentoran) - 497 appearances, 131 goals.

FRANK CASPER: There’s so many good strikers – or centre-forwards – to choose from, but I thought Frank was a class player. It all looked so easy for him. He was a great striker of the ball with a terrific right foot, scoring goals from any angle. You also knew that if you knocked the ball up towards Frank that it would stick to his feet, plus he had terrific pace and movement.

June 1967 - Feb 1976 (from Rotherham, £30,000) - 275 appearances, 89 goals.

RAY POINTER: The Blond Bombshell was always a willing runner. In the 1960s he used to chase lost causes. To him, it was never a lost cause. Ray would just chase, chase, chase. It’s the part of the game that not many footballers enjoy doing. It was a terrific attitude that endeared him to his team-mates and supporters, plus he scored so many goals.

Aug 1957 - Aug 1965 (joined as amateur) - 270 appearances, 133 goals.
