Games to Remember returns for the first time in over two years and this time we look back at a game between Burnley and Chelsea played in April 1977.
I made a big mistake, made a few in my time, but one of them was not starting keeping diaries until 1976.
On Saturday 26th April 1947 Burnley took a day off from league action to take on Charlton Athletic in the FA Cup Final at Wembley, our first appearance in the final since beating Liverpool in 1914.
Burnley's FA Cup tie with Chelsea in 1956 is a story in its own right, a tie that took five games, and 540 minutes, before the Londoners went through to a fifth round contest against Everton at Goodison Park.
This week our Game To Remember is one with a difference, our last ever visit to Boothferry Park Hull as Clive Middlemass looked to stake a claim to replace Jimmy Mullen as Burnley manager.
Our Game to Remember this week against Macclesfield takes us back to what was an anxious time for Burnley supporters as we faced up to yet another end of season relegation scrap.
We go back to the visit of Everton in March 1974 for this week's Game to Remember, and a time when an inability to score goals had seen the Clarets drop down the league table in our first season back in the First Division.
In our Game to Remember this week we are going back 43 years to the day, and a game at Stoke that Burnley fans had been eagerly awaiting more than any other in the fixture list.
Que sera sera, whatever will be will be, we're going to Wemb-er-lee, que sera sera. Do you remember 1988, the plastic pitch at Deepdale and the over confident Preston North End?
In this week's Game to Remember we go back to the home game against Northampton Town in that fantastic 1991/92 season when we finally got ourselves out of the old Fourth Division after seven long years.
This week our Game to Remember is going to take in two games against Everton, played just twenty-four hours apart whilst we were all still suffering from the effects of the Christmas turkey.
We were preparing for a home game against Stockport County and with virtually half the season gone we were just a couple of points outside the play offs, hard to believe then that the club was in turmoil.
Christmas was on its way in 1972 and everyone in Burnley was preparing for the festivities whilst the football fans amongst us were looking forward to a promotion clash at Blackpool on Boxing Day.
This week we go back just under five years for our Game to Remember and an enjoyable day against Preston at Deepdale when the new hero of the Turf Moor crowd became a King.
This week for our Game to Remember we go back to the 1980s, and an early season game as the Clarets looked to continue the good start they had made to the new season.
In a new Clarets Mad feature we look back at past games our club has been involved in and these will not necessarily the big games. We'll be digging deep and finding the games of your choice over the coming months.
