Burnley have received the world's oldest season ticket, which once belonged to former player Leonard Metcalfe.

The red document, which was previously known as a members' card, is dated back to the 1884-85 season and has Metcalfe's name emblazoned on it with a gold plated stamp.

The season ticket was handed back to the club, who are planning to put it on display at Turf Moor, by David Metcalfe, who now lives in Bristol.

"My father passed the ticket over to me about 25 years ago," Metcalfe told the Daily Mail. "He was a keen footballer and he started to take me to a lot of the games."

Leonard Metcalfe featured for the Burnley first team in 1883.
