A compelling account of Burnley’s historic 1960 Football League triumph, showcasing the young, homegrown team, innovative playing style, and the town’s enduring football legacy

Burnley conquered the Football League in 1960 in the last match of the season. They had used only eighteen players – almost all of the young team had been schooled through the famous Burnley youth system and none had arrived on big transfers.

It was a staggering achievement for the small Lancashire mill town club and was based on a system of total football which was years ahead of its time.

Burnley’s autocratic chairman Bob Lord said that Burnley had always been famous for two things – cotton and the Burnley Building Society. Now it would be remembered for its football team.

He wasn’t far wrong.
