Leading 1-0 in 'The Orient Game', Britton, the smallest player on the pitch, got up to head home a second and match winning goal that saved Burnley's Football League status.
He's since, and rightly so, become a hero amongst Burnley fans and admitted recently that if he chose he would rarely have to buy a drink with the supporters always keen to repay him.
Later today he will receive a superb reception from those Burnley supporters, a player who will always be remembered at Turf Moor for that goal on 9th May 1987.
