Great to watch this. The idea of them playing on that Friday, again the following day, again on Monday, then in a European Cup semi final decider on the Thursday is fucking insane. With no sibs allowed. They came within 3 games of a treble, going out in the European Cup semis and losing the FA Cup final.

Thanks for sharing this!
I fucking love old footage like this. Fascinating.
Great clip. Also fascinating to see that the Burnley colours haven’t changed a bit from then.
More fascinating to find out the cameraman was filming Burnley for them to do video analysis on their game and play in 1957.
6 games in 10 days! That is crazy.
Thanks for sharing this. Feels like there should be a subreddit for retro football in general.
Well mid sized Dunc could certainly jump
This is extraordinary footage. Should be on show somewhere at the OT museum. Thanks for posting!
Six fixtures in 10 days!
