THE Clarets have been advised to get some more kit in following the arrival of Paul Gascoigne.

The England legend was apparently famous, or should that be infamous, for ending training sessions wearing nothing but his briefs as he gave away kit to souvenir hunting fans during his time at Middlesbrough.

His training tops, shorts and even socks were known to go missing on an almost daily basis.

They could also do with getting hold of a plentiful supply of his number 34 shirt as there is little likelihood of him wearing any of them twice.

Already he has given away his debut shirt, the recipient appearing to be his former Everton team mate Danny Cadamarteri. He must have forgiven him for the stunt of sticking his suit to the top of his care when they were together at Goodison.

Best chants

AFTER all the concerns in recent weeks about the lack of noise from the home fans at Turf Moor, last Sunday was a real treat.

The response of the home fans to the arrival of Gazza, pictured, led to a similar response from the team to the fans as they tore into Preston North End from the start.

And in that first half there was a lesson for all those who have been booing them in recent weeks. It may be a chicken and egg situation but there can be little doubt the players perform better with a loud crowd behind them.

And how nice it was for another bout of terrace wit as they chanted "Gazza is a Dingle". The best songs always come out against North End.

Stan feels G-Force

FOR much of the season Burnley boss Stan Ternent was being linked with signing a top class footballer whose surname begins with "G".

But, even though Monsieur Ginola is available from Everton before next Thursday's deadline day, there is no likelihood of Ternent picking up the phone to try and add the Frenchman to his squad.

Unless of course it is a case of get one, get another free!

And another thing. . . Jumble up the letters of Paul Gascoigne's name and you get CLAEAS GOING UP.

Not perfect but from a distance, with a squint and in bad light the message comes over loud and clear!

GAZZA may be the talk of the Turf but tomorrow afternoon sees the eagerly awaited reunion of the Clarets fourth division championship winning team at Turf Moor.

Ten years ago Burnley became the last club to lift that particular title before the restructuring of the league saw Division Four disappear into the ether.

With a large percentage of the squad having promised to turn up it promises to be a very nostalgic afternoon for players, coaches and fans alike.

Trivia trip

KURT Nogan and Steve Thompson were the men who made their debuts for Burnley at Tranmere seven years ago, as asked in last weekend's Turf Trivia.

For this week, can you name the last player to be given the number 34 squad number that is now worn by you know who?
