The 1959–60 Burnley F.C. season was their 61st in the Football League, and their 13th consecutively in the First Division, the top tier of English football. Under their manager, Harry Potts, Burnley won their second First Division championship, the first since their 1920–21 season, on the last day with a 2–1 victory over Manchester City. Only Alex Elder and Jimmy McIlroy had cost a transfer fee; the other players had been recruited from Burnley’s youth academy. In cup competitions, Burnley reached the sixth round of the FA Cup, and won the Lancashire Cup. After the main season ended, the squad travelled to the United States to participate in the first edition of the International Soccer League. Eighteen players made at least one appearance for the club, with Jimmy Adamson, Brian Miller and Ray Pointer present in all 50 matches. The top goalscorer was John Connelly with 24 goals, including 20 in the league. The highest home attendance at Turf Moor that season was 52,850 for the FA Cup fifth round replay match against Bradford City. (Full article...)
