How is it that some games reduce us to tears of despair and others raise us to tears of joy? There can be 46 games in a Championship season or just 38 in a Premier League season. Some create excitement, others produce boredom. There is always the thrill of a win or the dejection of defeat. But in some games there is something else. Maybe something huge is at stake; maybe its a game when a lesser team outplays a team full of galacticos and the win is so unexpected that the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. Just sometimes theres moistness in your eyes, even real tears, those irresistible and invaluable lump in the throat moments that the spirit of football is sold on. Weve all known it at some time, some more than others maybe. At Burnley where there have been more ups and downs in recent years than a fiddler's elbow, the change from joy to despair has been present on so many occasions, and Burnley fans have experienced several promotions and relegations. For two decades respected Burnley were a top team inasmuch as they were in the old top division, Division One, but for seven years there were the wilderness years in the old Fourth Division. Then, since 1991/92 the ups and downs eventually brought Burnley to the very top division again. It's been emotional. Here are ten of those supremely emotional games. Needless to say, there are many, many more.
