Frank Casper ex Burnley reply

[rcsmg1]

I posted some cards and a team photo to Frank last week at a PA and received them all back signed.

Frank Casper made his Rotherham United debut against Derby County in 1962 and went on to play 102 games before transferring to Burnley in June 1967 for a fee of £30,000. He scored on his Burnley debut against Coventry City, went on to score five goals in his first five games with the club, and became the club's top scorer in each of his first two seasons.Through the early to mid 1970s, Frank continued to be a major focus of the Clarets' attack and forged a successful partnership with Paul Fletcher, with the two helping the club gain promotion back to Division One in 1972–73. Casper's first team appearances were limited after an injury sustained at Leeds United in 1974, and early in 1976 he made his last first team appearance at Norwich before retiring and joining the Turf Moor staff as youth team coach. In all he spent around 20 years with Burnley, first as a very successful striker, then as a coach, caretaker manager in 1983, and manager from 1989 to 1991.He also had a spell as assistant manager at Bury, alongside former team-mate Martin Dobson.His son Chris was also a professional footballer and football manager.

Paul (knock-knock) asked about my card collection recently.I've collected the cards since 1973,starting when I was at school and although some have creased corners from playing 'nearest to the wall' at school,are mostly in good condition.I've also spent a lot of money on Ebay buying missing cards and earlier sets!
