Part two of our summer squad number feature
Squad numbers were introduced for the first time in the 1999/2000 season and a generation of Clarets have since put their own special mark on a particular shirt.
Repeating a series by contributor Wallace Chadwick which ran in the on-line Turf matchday magazine during the 2020/21 season, we will be highlighting who wore what and profiling some of those who made their mark at Turf Moor.
This time the spotlight is on number 19 - worn twice by local lad Jay Rodriguez.

Joey Barton
It’s fair to say that Joey Barton left a big impression at all his clubs and at Burnley that impression was nothing but positive.

Juke was a strange one, 35 appearances for us and he never scored a single goal, not a one. He had plenty of chances, but for us he couldn't hit the proverbial barn door from six feet. He never had a problem scoring for his previous clubs, and he's banged in another 55 for Birmingham since going there.
One of sports mysteries, it's weird, it's inexplicable, unless someone can find a reason for it, I can't.
He may be a target man FL, but he's a target man who's scored regularly everywhere except Burnley. Here's his before and after,
Bolton on loan, 20 appearances, 7 goals.
Burnley, 35 appearances, 0 goals,
Birmingham, first season, 40 appearances, 12 goals.
19 goals in 60 appearances either side of playing for us is a decent return, maybe not quite prolific, but not far off it. How on earth a player who scores once every 3 games can't score even once in 35 games for us is beyond me.
