Former Burnley and Blackpool winger David Eyres: "I was considering telling them to rip my contract up!"

"There was a stage where I was going to knock on his door and tell him that I'd made a mistake signing professional terms!"

Broke my heart when he signed for them lot. My first favourite player as a kid. Always had a blinder against us too

Eyres! Always liked him and never had a problem with him playing for other sides - can't imagine we treated him that well!

I’m sure the Owen offered him a great deal to keep him

At the time yes. 28 years later you have to say he made the right move for him going to Burnley.
Also remember 2 years later we did the same taking PNE's prize asset, Tony Ellis.

Not really.

I can certainly understand why he made the move and his reasoning behind it, it just bloody hurt though.

My favourite in that team. Cant remember him having a poor game. Used to tear people apart. Very good.
