WADE ELLIOTT
Elliott's first season at Burnley got off to a slow start, he made just 23 starts for the club and scored 3 goals. However in his next two seasons he became one of the clubs most influential players, winning play of the year awards for two consecutive seasons.[1] It was in the 2007/2008 season that he committed his future to the club by signing a 3 year contract extension, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2011 season.[5] In the following season he was instrumental in Burnley's promotion to the Premier League and capped off the season by scoring the only goal in the Play-Off final. The 25 yard curling shot captured much media attention with multiple references to him scoring the goal that had the potential to earn Burnley up to £60 million in the Premier League.[2][6] Elliott began his first Premier League season by scoring the only goal in the home win against Everton, again leading Elliott to grab headlines.[7] On his 200th League appearance for Burnley, he scored the final goal in a 4–1 mauling of Hull City from a in-swinging free kick on the far left at the KC Stadium.
