Burley on Life's a Pitch

Legendary Blues full-back and manager George Burley is the star guest on this Saturday's Life's a Pitch (BBC Radio Suffolk, midday to 2pm). Host Mark Murphy is joined by legend-in-residence Kevin Beattie, Tractorboy and TWTD’s Phil Ham, who will be at Turf Moor ahead of the game against Burnley.

Burley, a member of the last Town team to win five away games on the spin back in 1976, became Blues manager 21 years ago this week. Saturday is the anniversary of his first victory, a 4-1 win against Leicester at Portman Road.
