Burnley have an excellent record in the First Division, including the 1920/21 Championship. After spending much of the 1930s in the Second Division they returned to the First in 1947 and then enjoyed a prolonged spell in the top flight until 1970/71. They won the First Division Championship in 1959/60, then finished 4th, 2nd and 3rd in the following three seasons. In 1962 they won the F.A. Cup Final.

John Connelly was transferred from Burnley to Manchester United in April 1964.
