I remember him destroying England full back Viv Anderson during the big midweek evening cup game against the great Forest team back in the late 70s (?)

Anderson resorted to stamping on him as I recall. He couldn't handle Noel at all. I seem to remember a testimonial for him circa 1990 against Kendall's Man City team. 

A genius on his day and a grafter too.

I remember his debut at Burnley in a pre season Lancashire Cup match and we couldn't believe he was only 21 primary because of his receding hairline. He represented one of our best ever signings in my opinion.

I changed my avatar a few weeks back in homage to a fellow country-man who lit up Ewood Park.

It's great to read the tales of how somebody from my little country is so fondly revered at the club I love.

A hot-steppin' wing wizard.  He died aged 38 the week before we won the Prem title. Tragic. 

Fantastic little player, loved watching the king if Ewood, loved when we belted out the song too.  I was here when he passed, what was the reason for his early demise.  Di nit know he was less than a year older than me.  RIP Noel and thanks for the happy times.

When we played Newcastle that VE Day Monday there were two « minute’s silences » - one at the beginning of the game for the war dead, a second at half time for Noel. In the white hot intensity of that night both were immaculately observed by all. 

Did we not lose Micky Heaton around the same time Jim?

Mick Heaton died in April 1995, Car accident on the Grane road I think.

Thanks. My brother was first on the scene and tended to Mick. I couldn’t remember exactly when it was but knew it was somewhere round about the same time as Noel.

Wasn’t that the game when Killer nearly murdered that Fucillo fella?

What a fantastic kit that was. 

I am sure that after his "death" Fucillo recovered in time to play in the following game?
