ONE radio caller was seeing things at Turf Moor last Saturday.

He was adamant that England boss Sven Goran Eriksson was sitting in the Bob Lord Stand, with Burnley Chairman Barry Kilby, running the rule over Clarets star Glen Little!

Obviously the winger wasn't picked for the Spanish clash -- perhaps Sven felt Glen had proved himself already and is in line for a World Cup call-up.

A trip to Japan, however, for Glen might not please manager Stan Ternent after all the problems with Ian Cox and Trinidad and Tobago!

Burnley Supporters Association Press Officer Malcolm Hibbert was the only Claret to leave Grimsby the other week with three points!

Malcolm had almost finished his journey back from Cleethorpes and was going through Colne when he was caught going 36 miles an hour in a 30 mile and hour zone.

He just wishes he could dedicate his points to Burnley!

The lack of home games in the next month have turned into a blessing in disguise for the Burnley side.

Only last week, the fans were lamenting the lack of Saturday home matches with the postponements of the games against Tranmere and maybe Queens Park Rangers later this month.

But with closure of Gawthorpe's training ground for as yet, an unspecified time because of the outbreak of foot and mouth disease, the Burnley players will be turning Turf Moor into their new training camp.

Boss Stan Ternent is even ready to get the undersoil heating going to make sure his players can be put through their paces every day.

Kevin Ball could take up the role of a cabaret singer once he gives up his football career.

The Clarets midfielder could be heard singing away in the corridor's of Turf Moor after training on Friday -- and it wasn't that bad!

I couldn't name the song but I don't think he'll be going for Top of the Pops. It sounded like a bit of a golden oldie number to me!

Nik the Greek has learnt some useful words in English. Apparently the first words he used on arriving at Burnley were 'Goalie's', 'Mine' and 'Leave' -- it won't get him far in everyday life!

Teaser: The answer to last week's teaser was Willie Irvine and Jimmy Robson. They are Burnley's record top scorers in a season -- league and cup -- with 37 goals.

Who scored the two Wolves goals when Burnley were defeated in the Sherpa Van Trophy final at Wembley in May 1988?
