Gary was a gentleman. A credit to his family, his city, his club. As a good friend of his son, Pete, growing up, he made me feel like I was part of the family. Considering everything he achieved - and the status he carried - he was one of the most humble human beings. ❤️🤍
We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Gary Rowell. A Sunderland icon and legendary goalscorer. Tomorrow, Wearside will come together and pay tribute to him ahead of a fixture he made his own. Rest in peace, Gary ❤️🤍

Burnley are just three points adrift of the FA Cup winners, four shy of the World champions and five short of the PL champions after nine games - having played six of the current top eight. Not a bad start at all for the Clarets.

Local boxing is flourishing once more. Just weeks after Burnley’s Reece Farnhill collects the English crown, Pendle’s @JoshJHolmes_ becomes the King of England at 130 lbs. Always enjoyed covering his bouts whilst at the @BurnleyExpress. Such a classy, fun-to-watch fighter.

Zian Flemming to Burnley is done. #Millwall Had been talk of Aidomo Emakhu out on loan and Fulham's Martial Godo in on loan but that is not happening.

Does the EFL do 5-a-side leagues?
🚨 EXCL. Lyle Foster now close to be loaned with a mandatory option to Ipswich Town ! 💰 Obligation to buy fixed at £25M. 🗣️ Not a done deal yet but clubs are currently in advanced talks in order to find an agreement. #ITFC #BurnleyFC #mercato #twitterclarets

Amdouni, Koleosho and Vitinho will all likely leave before the window closes at the end of the month as well, leaving an alarmingly threadbare squad even more threadbare. It’s incredibly concerning.
