“Could Burnley Rewrite History? The Astonishing Quest for a 71-Year-Old Football Record Begins!”
This has led to Burney registering 28 clean sheets so far, which has put them within striking distance of the record for the most clean sheets in a season in English football history.
Saturday’s latest blank leaves Burnley third in the all-time standings, with just Gillingham (29 clean sheets in 1995/95) and current record holders Port Vale ahead of them.
The Valiants managed 30 clean sheets in 1953/54, a record that has stood for 71 years, but is now under threat. Burnley have seven Championship games of the season remaining and would need two clean sheets to equal the record and three to break it.
