BURNLEY are asking fans to share their memories of Jimmy McIlroy for the Clarets legend’s testimonial brochure.
McIlroy has been awarded a testimonial by the club to mark the 50th anniversary of their First Division title triumph in 1960.
It will include a golf day, a supporters’ evening, a gala dinner and a match at Turf Moor on a date yet to be arranged. A testimonial brochure including tributes from the world of football is set to be published soon.
The club are now appealing for fans - particularly those who saw him play - to send in their tributes, including your name, and preferably in less than 50 words.
Tributes can be sent by e-mail to simpsonr22@sky.com or by post to Ray Simpson, Club Historian, Burnley FC, Turf Moor, Burnley BB10 4BX.
