The club has been represented by numerous high-profile players, most notably Jimmy McIlroy and Jimmy Adamson. The latter won the FWA Footballer of the Year award in 1962, the first and to date only time a Burnley player achieved this. Four years later, Willie Irvine became top goal scorer in the first tier, also a unique feat in the club's history. Leighton James and Nick Pope are the only Burnley players to have been included in the PFA Team of the Year while in the top tier—James was a member of the 1974–75 squad and Pope was part of the 2019–20 team. In total, 29 players have won full England caps during their time at the club; Bob Kelly won the most caps (11) and scored the most goals (six).
