Burnley Football Club is an English professional association football club based in the town of Burnley, Lancashire. Founded on 18 May 1882, the club was one of the first to become professional (in 1883), putting pressure on the Football Association (FA) to permit payments to players.[1] In 1885, the FA legalised professionalism, so the team entered the FA Cup for the first time in 1885–86, and were one of the twelve founding members of the Football League in 1888–89.[1] Burnley have played in all four professional divisions of English football from 1888 to the present day.[2] The team have been champions of England twice, in 1920–21 and 1959–60, have won the FA Cup once, in 1913–14, and have won the FA Charity Shield twice, in 1960 and 1973.[2][3] Burnley are one of only five teams to have won all four professional divisions of English football, along with Wolverhampton Wanderers, Preston North End, Sheffield United and Portsmouth. They were the second to achieve this by winning the Fourth Division in the 1991–92 season.[4][5]

In 1909, Arthur Ogden scored three times in six minutes in an FA Cup away match at Bristol Rovers—the fastest hat-trick in the club's history.[6] Charlie Austin, who netted 45 goals in 90 appearances for Burnley,[7] scored in a tied club record eight consecutive matches from 15 September 2012 to 23 October 2012.[8] Two players who made between 50 and 99 appearances for Burnley, Alan Brown and Billy Dougall, went on to manage the team. Brown was appointed in 1954 and remained in the role until 1957.[9] Under Brown and chairman Bob Lord,[10] Burnley became one of the first clubs to set up a purpose-built training ground, at Gawthorpe in 1955.[11][12] The club also became renowned for its youth policy and scouting system, which yielded many young talents.[10][13] Dougall succeeded Brown in 1957 but his tenure lasted only half a year as he was forced to relinquish the post due to poor health.[9] Jimmy Hogan, who grew up in the town of Burnley,[11] played 52 matches for the club and scored 12 goals between 1903 and 1905.[14] After his playing career ended in 1913,[15] he became one of the most pioneering football managers in continental Europe.[16][17]

All players who have played between 50 and 99 first-team matches for the club, either as a member of the starting eleven or as a substitute, are listed below. Each player's details include the duration of his career with Burnley, his typical playing position while with the club, and the number of matches played and goals scored in all senior competitive matches.
