Willie Irvine (full name
William John Irvine, born
June 18,
1943) is a former professional
football striker. He played for
Burnley,
Preston North End,
Brighton and Hove Albion and
Halifax Town and he was also a
Northern Ireland international.
The most successful period of his career was without doubt his time at Burnley, making his Clarets debut away at
Arsenal in May 1963. By 1964-65 he established a forward partnership with
Andy Lochhead, which was along with
Spurs',
Jimmy Greaves and
Alan Gilzean, the most lethal strike force in the country. In the 1965-66 season he was the First Division's top scorer, with a tally of 29 goals. A broken leg, sustained in an FA cup 3rd round match at
Everton in 1967 signalled a downturn in his career at Turf Moor. In 1968 he was transferred to Preston.
Present Day
Willie is still working with
Burnley, giving guided tours around
Turf Moor.
