Wayne Thomas

Thomas joined Burnley on a free transfer from Stoke City in 2005 after enjoying a five-year spell with the Potters.

Two seasons at Turf Moor saw him make 52 appearances before Saints came calling in the summer of 2007.

He played on the South Coast in the Championship and League One, and played 54 times in all.

He eventually left for Doncaster on a free transfer, but will be remembered for the stunning long-range goal he scored against Ipswich in the FA Cup back in 2010.
