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!
