ADAM BLACKLAW, Goalkeeper  Stands six feet and weighs 13 stones. Born in Aberdeen, became a professional in 1954 and seized his chance when England 'keeper McDonald broke a leg.  He is a Scottish Under-23 cap and played in 41 league games last season—more than any other player in the club.

JOHN ANGUS, Right Back  A Youth and Under-23 international, Angus won his first full cap a year ago at left back against Austria in Vienna.  But for the consistency of Jimmy Armfield, he would have more honours to his credit by now. His qualities of leadership are appreciated by the selectors, because they made him the Under-23 captain. A native of Amble in Northumberland.

ALEX ELDER, Left Back  His youth accentuated by his crew-cut hair. Elder plays a very mature game for one with so little experience of top-class football.  He has been with Burnley just over two years, being signed from Glentoran for £3,000.  Last season he won a regular place in the Northern Ireland team.  Although not quick on the turn, he times his tackles very well and invariably makes good use of the ball.

JIMMY ADAMSON, Right Half (Capt.)  He goes to the World Cup in Chile this month as assistant to England team manager Walter Winterbottom, as well as a player.  His choice in preference to established coaches and managers is a tribute to his thoughtful play.  Comes from Ashington and joined the club as a junior in 1946.  He had to wait six years for his first senior chance, and now makes up the "machine room" of the team with Jimmy McIlroy.

TOMMY CUMMINGS, Centre Half  Had a trial with Spurs Just after the war, but could not settle in London.  Although he is under six feet, he is commanding in the air.  Was elected chairman of the Professional Footballers Association early ,in the season.   Like Adamson, has not had his full reward of representative honours.

BRIAN MILLER, Left Half  Was unlucky in his first international appearance, against Austria in Vienna last May, in that he was right half and expected to be the attacking wing half in tne team. Excels in a defensive role and plays equally well at centre half, as he did in the semi-final replay against Fulham.  A native of Burnley, joined the club in 1954 and established himself in 1959.

JOHN CONNELLY, Outside Right  Moves with grace and power, has a fine burst off the mark and shoots well with either foot.  Has won seven caps for England and would command amore certain place if all his attributes were used to the full. Played in three internationals during this season, including the World Cup tie against Portugal.  Born at St. Helens, was playing for the local club before being brought to Turf Moor in 1956.

JIMMY MclLROY, Inside Right The best known and highest paid member of the club and one of the few world-class forwards in Britain.  Came from Glentoran in 1950 for the bargain fee of £7,000.  Since then he has become as essential to the Ireland team as Danny Blanchflower, and is approaching 50 appearances for his country.  Early in the season he took over the goal-scoring role from closely-marked Robson, and is now back as midfield schemer.

RAY POINTER, Centre Forward  If hard work was the only qualification for international selection Pointer would be a regular member of the England team. He covers a tremendous amount of ground, both downfield and on the wings, in order to help his colleagues.  Scored on his international debut against Luxembourg in the World Cup in September and again against Portugal in the World Cup at Wembley.  He joined Burnley in 1957.

JIMMY ROBSON, Inside Left Although he has not been so dangerous near goal as he was last season, he still comes along with valuable goals, like the two by which Fulham were beaten to the semi-final.  Tall, well-built and hard to dispossess. Went to Turf Moor straight from school in County Durham and came up through the Junior sides.

GORDON HARRIS, Outside Left A dangerous winger because he is stocky, strong and courageous.  His form enabled Burnley to transfer Brian Pilkington to Bolton last season for £25,000.  Harris proceeded to do well in the European Cup and F.A. Cup run up to the semi-final.  Born in Worksop, he was caught up in Burnley's scouting net three years ago.
