Burnley to wear one-off Alzheimer's Society strip on Tuesday for their Carabao Cup clash with Rochdale after six members of the Clarets' 1960 title-winning died following a battle with dementia

Burnley will wear a one-off strip emblazoned with the Alzheimer's Society tomorrow as they aim to raise thousands for the dementia charity.

Sean Dyche's side face Rochdale in the Carabao Cup third round at Turf Moor and have struck a deal with kit sponsors Spreadex Sports to change their home shirts on World Alzheimer's Day.

Both Burnley and their principal sponsor are committed to handing the charity a £5 donation each from every third kit sold and expect the total to reach a substantial five-figure sum.
