" a transfer fee was paid for only two players — Jimmy McIlroy (1950) and Alex Elder (1959)." it's odd to say transfer fee then put the year (I assume) of their transfer in parentheses. I get it but I'm not sure a non-soccer reader would.
Probably need to attribute that Italian press quote, I assume the source is quoting a quote?
The source gives the full quote, but only implies that "... the Italian press whipped up Fairs Cup fever with sentiments like [quote]".

"UEFA Europa League " is suddenly linked 3/4 of the way down this list.
Removed the overlink.

Slight issue with some of the records being cited to a 2007 source when Burnley have been in Europe post-2007....
The only "record" that was broken post-2007 was the lowest home attendance (and is sourced). The other records have remained intact.

I don't think source 47 (to RSSSF) covers most of that para e.g. "as their public showed little interest in the competition", so work needed there.
Added some other sources, reworded a large part of the paragraph.

Blank cells for single-legged games is not helpful at all for our readers.
Added em-dashes. Is that better?

Also, can you clarify if the Newcastle final venue was designated neutral? Why was it played at the ground of one of the finalists?
Couldn't find a reliable source or really an explanation, but I assume it was due to the fact Newcastle had also reached the FA Cup Final, which was contested a few days after the Texaco Cup final. Does the note need to be expanded?

The "gold" and "silver" cell(s) need a symbol and a key to indicate "won/lost the tournament in the final".
That's it, first pass, I think there's more to do than this, but this is my initial assessment. Putting it on hold.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to this, I missed the ping, but I'm generally content that this more than meets the GA requirements so I'm happy to promote it. Cheers.

Burnley F.C. in international football →
Burnley F.C. in European football – Unlike teams such as
Real Madrid,
Liverpool or
AC Milan Burnley has never played in international competitions (that is, competitions between clubs from different confederations/continents). It has only played against opponents in the European confederation, i.e. in European competitions. I have already taken the liberty of doing this move to the various other clubs that have never played international competitions, but I wanted to specifically request it in Burnley's case since this is a featured article.

Comment: the proposed title actually was the name of the article until about a year and a half ago. I don't have a preference for either title. But, if the article's name gets changed, the infobox and category "English football clubs in international competitions" need to be fixed as well. Oh, just to add, Burnley were chosen to represent England in the first-ever
International Soccer League, so the team have played in an international competition ;)
