KNOWING that Stephen Cummings couldn't resist having a dig after the Rovers great victory (LET, February 26), I have collated a few facts to put into perspective what has happened in the world since Burnley last played in Europe in 1967.
Man eventually walked on the surface of the moon
England had to give the World Cup back
America finally pulled out of Vietnam
The world does not consider Cilla Black and Max Bygraves to be pop stars any more
You can't buy a brand new car for under a grand these days
In fact, we don't even use the same currency as way back then
The miracle of colour TV has been introduced into our homes
The Beatles split up
We have witnessed Shergar run and disappear, just as Lord Lucan did
Five different actors have gone on to play the same James Bond
We now have to sit down at football matches
The FA Cup has been contested 34 times
And there has been countless thousands of episodes of Coronation Street
Also Elvis has died and has since been spotted shopping at Tesco's!
On a final note, we all know the Worthington Cup has had a few different names over the years, but by the time Burnley get round to winning it and appearing in Europe again the trophy will probably be known as the Inter-Galactic Cup!
