Stan Ternent set for Turf Moor return as part of Burnley's 'Forever Clarets' initiative
Stan Ternent is to make his Turf Moor return next week as part of Burnley’s 'Forever Clarets' initiative.
Former players down the years who came through Burnley’s academy are to be recognised during the home game against Tottenham on Saturday, January 24.
At half-time, former Clarets who came through the club’s early pathways – such as Ternent and others – will be recognised alongside the club’s 2026 academy scholars.
“Together, they represent the values, pride and pathway that define Burnley Football Club,” the club said in a statement.
Chris Brass, Ian Brennan, Phil Cavener, Wayne Dowell, Brian Flynn, Ashley Hoskin, John Mullin, Terry Pashley, Billy Rodaway and Derek Scott are also scheduled to appear, although player appearances are subject to change.

Academy manager Chris Casper, who will be part of the celebrations, said: "It's a fantastic programme and one everybody associated to Burnley FC should be proud of.
"As a Burnley boy, I know what it means to be part of the fabric of this club, and with such an illustrious history, we should embrace our historic past at every given opportunity, whilst at the same time acknowledging the new wave of young players coming through our academy.
"We're all looking forward to next Saturday."
While predominantly remembered for his memorable six years in the managerial hotseat at Turf Moor, Ternent turned professional with the Clarets in 1963 after serving his apprenticeship.
