Colin McDonald: Former Burnley and England goalkeeper dies aged 95

McDonald initially signed as an amateur in July 1948 and played for the reserve team before being called up for National Service in 1950.

Returning to Turf Moor on a professional contract in 1952, he “established himself as Burnley’s number one and for the next couple of seasons, he was more or less ever-present”, the club said.

After recovering from a broken ankle suffered against Chelsea in December 1956, he made his first appearance for the national side in 1958 before that year’s World Cup.
