In Popular Culture
The club are referenced in the 2011 film The Inbetweeners when the main characters share their coach pickup with a group of noisy Burnley fans. The fans sing "We love you Burnley, we do!" and later "Can you hear the Preston sing? I can't hear a fucking thing!", two of the club's chants. 'Will' narrates that when asked "I always say I like football, but not Burnley. Burnley can fuck off!"
The club's supporters also briefly appear in the 1966 feature film Help! in a scene where footage of a crowd scene from the 1962 F A cup final against Tottenham Hotspur is used.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“People try so hard to believe in leaders now, pitifully hard. But we no sooner get a popular reformer or politician or soldier or writer or philosopher—a Roosevelt, a Tolstoy, a Wood, a Shaw, a Nietzsche, than the cross-currents of criticism wash him away. My Lord, no man can stand prominence these days. It’s the surest path to obscurity. People get sick of hearing the same name over and over.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“The genius of American culture and its integrity comes from fidelity to the light. Plain as day, we say. Happy as the day is long. Early to bed, early to rise. American virtues are daylight virtues: honesty, integrity, plain speech. We say yes when we mean yes and no when we mean no, and all else comes from the evil one. America presumes innocence and even the right to happiness.”
—Richard Rodriguez (b. 1944)
