Andy Payton

So sad. I loved him as a player. Before he signed for us he was always a player we talked about at school as "we could do with a Payton"
I'll never forget me Dad checking teletext before I went to bed and seeing we'd signed him. I went upstairs buzzing.

 

Currie was the best of them all especially his first well amazing player

 

great player and proper moody
remember him tellin us to eff off in a league cup game at darlo when we gave him some grief for not chasing a long ball

 

Lolzzz!! I remember that as I was there myself, Ian Banks was playing for Darlo, sure Payton scored our two goals......sithi

 

Mick Butler was a great forward as well and for a little one he could jump higher than most center half's

 

Mick butler only little but great with the head and nippy in all

 

Can anybody remember Boxing Day , think it was against port vale when he had not scored for a long time got a hat trick and the bookies in the ground could not pay out that day cause everyone was on the hat trick ,

 

I remember the incident of non celebration. More so, the one at home. With him being a boyhood lifelong Burnley fan.
He scored in both games.
like you, sad to hear he's suffered because of the game.
Believe it or not. He had never played for Burnley until after us, released as a schoolboy at 15. then joined hull as a junior. At 18 . Which surprised me after checking Wiki.

 

It was Grimsby. First goal was a pearler.
