sympatheticclaret Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Just seen this on our site .... There are apparently NINE Post-War International footballers, who've played League Football over three different decades, who've donned both the Blue and White of Blackburn Rovers, and the Claret & Blue of Burnley F.C. at some point in their long careers ! Any suggestions ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lad we should have signed Jones! Jay McEverley won 3 Caps for Scotland, played for both, but his career has not, as yet, spanned 3 different decades of appearances in the Football League ... With two to get, here's a clue for each ... a) Developed in Blackburn's Youth system, he played his first League game for Rovers, and his last for Burnley in Stan Ternent's last game in charge ... b) This player had much more success with another " Claret & Blue " Club, than he ever did at Turf Moor !
