Northern Exposure is a captivating portrayal of Burnley FC's tumultuous journey over half a century, as experienced by lifelong fan Tim Quelch. To unravel the club's tale, Tim engages with current and former players, managers, and directors, who generously share their memories and insights. The book vividly captures the peaks and valleys, offering vivid accounts of pivotal games played in the top flight and across all Football League divisions. The narrative commences in March 1970, in the aftermath of the club's glory days, and traces its swift decline in the late 1970s, followed by a near-extinction threat a decade later. However, an unlikely resurgence led to six consecutive years of top-flight football and a place in the Europa League. Set against the backdrop of a evolving Britain and the shifting rock music scene, Northern Exposure weaves a stirring tale of a small northern town football club.
