The centrepiece of this collection is undoubtedly ‘Rhapsody in Claret and Blue’, the official history of Burnley Football Club, originally previously released on video in 1999. This brand-new extended two-hour edition, available on DVD for the first time, has been brought bang up to date with nearly 30 minutes of new footage, specially narrated by Alastair Campbell. Re-live all the moments that have generated passion and excitement for generations of Clarets fans. Share the highs and lows of this wonderful club and hear from the personalities who have shaped the club’s fortunes for over 100 unforgettable years. The Clarets Anthology also includes four other titles, released previously on video and now brought together on DVD for the very first time. The Harry Potts Way Based on Harry’s personal collection of family photographs and home movies, all of which have never been seen on DVD before, ‘The Harry Potts Way’ is a compelling tribute to a man who was universally respected in the game. Enjoy stunning archive material of Harry’s career, including the 1947 Cup Final against Charlton, the ‘62 Cup Final against Spurs (in glorious colour!) and highlights of the European campaign of 1960/61. There are also interviews with Burnley legends Tommy Cummings, Ray Pointer, Jimmy Robson, Jimmy McIlroy, Andy Lochhead, Brian Miller, Paul Fletcher, Arthur Bellamy and many others who have fond memories of Harry. The Harry Potts Way is a truly a unique look at Burnley’s most revered manager. When We Were Kings In 1960, with the League Championship under their belts, the great team managed by Harry Potts and including the likes of McIlroy, Adamson, Pointer and Connelly took on the might of other countries in the European Cup. Six years later in the European Fairs Cup, a new Burnley team challenged again for European honours against some of the game’s finest players. Using recently unearthed footage – most of it not seen on DVD ever before – now comes the chance to re-live those special nights, all four European Cup games, including the infamous Hamburg away leg and the ‘Battle of Naples’ in the Fairs Cup. The DVD also includes interviews with those at the heart of the action, including Jimmy McIlroy, Ray Pointer, Jimmy Robson, Willie Irvine, Andy Lochhead, Uwe Seeler, the late, great Brian Miller and legendary BBC commentator Kenneth Wolstenholme. The Team of the 70s This important film, now on DVD for the first time, captures a period in history when Burnley Football Club was in transition. The Harry Potts era was coming to an end and Jimmy Adamson was soon to be the new manager. An exciting new team was forming around the likes of Colin Waldron, Martin Dobson, Ralph Coates, Dave Thomas and Steve Kindon. Leighton James would soon make his debut. Jimmy Adamson said they could be the ‘Team of the 70’s’. He was nearly right. But sadly it wasn’t to be and Burnley Football Club spiralled into a decline that almost proved to be terminal. ‘The Team of the 70’s’ provides a unique and exciting glimpse through the doors of Burnley Football Club nearly 40 years ago. The Orient Game Dateline: May 9, 1987. For the first time on DVD, re-live all the action from that nail-biting day in May 1987, when Burnley Football Club was staring into the abyss and facing the ignominy of becoming the first league club automatically relegated to the Football Conference. The Fourth Division game at Turf Moor attracted over 15,000 fans – but also the eyes of a nation. The ensuing result undoubtedly secured the club’s very future. This unmissable DVD serves as an important milestone in a proud history.
