Andy Lochhead

Tremendous old fashioned centre forward . My departed dad ( who was a Burnley fan - we lived in Accrington) used to regale me with stories of the battles Andy and Rovers centre half , Mike England used to have in the early 60s cotton town Classicos , a few years before I started supporting the Rovers

Rest in Peace Andy
 
Remember seeing him playing up-front at Leicester City, partnering a young Allan ‘Sniffer’ Clarke.

A great old-fashioned fearless battering-ram of a centre forward. RIP.
 
Remember him when I was a kid growing up in Padiham in the 1960s. Always remember he was a sticker on one of my early football albums! 😂. My grandad took me on Turf Moor once as a little kid(1966)and I think he played that day.. 🙂RIP Andy Lochhead...

Andy Lochhead, ex Burnley striker has passed away. Age 81.
Excellent player who once put 4 past Manure keeper.
Sad news, a super centre forward.
RIP Andy.

I remember watching him play for Villa against Blackpool. I don’t know why, but he has always stayed in my memory. Maybe it’s because of his mostly bald head! To a youngster like I was then, he must have seemed too old to be playing. RIP.
 
RIP Andy - yes a truly great striker and iconic figure that everybody recognised. Had him on a bubble gum card as a kid.

My 2/3rd Pool game, I think the bald head is my lasting memory as well, despite the fact we won 2-1.😂 My daughter lives in Cheddar, quite fond of Somerset👍

I remember it was Burnley v Blackpool at Turf Moor, and my grandad took me for my first football game ever! Living in Padiham we went to see Burnley (grandad was a fan), but I remember being intrigued by the team in 'orange' jerseys! Burnley won the game 1-0,but I only remember the name of the Burnley 'keeper, Adam Blacklaw. After a bit of a Google search I found details of the game and teams that day(October 1st 1966)....and Andy Lochhead did indeed play up front for Burnley that day... 🙂 Ray Charnley lead the 'pool line, with Tony Waiters in goal...
