For some people, collecting Burnley shirts can be an inconvenience. It’s out with the old and in with the new every July.

But for Billy, it’s one of his great passions in life, though his collection differs from most collectors in the fact that his are almost exclusively match worn!

It’s a sense of owning a piece of history for Billy, who feels like each shirt tells its own unique story.

We caught up with him earlier this week to take a deeper dive into his collection and found that his passion for collecting matchworn shirts is now decades old.
