Tributes have been paid to Burnley legend and Championship winner Jimmy Robson, who has passed away at the age of 82.
Born in Pelton, County Durham, Robson was persuaded by a school teacher to follow his dream of being a footballer after he had told him he was set for a career down the pit.
A trial with Sunderland was arranged before he joined Burnley aged 15.
