Remember attending a game at the Dell in the 70,s with a group of fellow schoolmates. Saints were playing Notts Forest and we arrived early and took up a position at the back of the Milton. Forest had in their ranks at that time Kenny Burns,and uncompromising, hate figure of a player.
When the Forest players walked on to the pitch in their suits to get a feel of the playing conditions, we decided it would be fun to bait Burns.
We sang the ditty " Kenny,Kenny, Kenny Burns, Kenny Burns,over there.Oh wank, wank,wank" all accompanied by the hand gestures.
Even allowing for the sparsely filled terrace,we did not expect him to hear.
He did.
With a scowl he reared around and quickly located the source of the abuse and moved towards the nearest part of the pitch to the now silent and terrified youngsters.
After a pause his face broke into a grin and he blew us a kiss. We cheered and applauded the now popular player,glad to have survived the incident without harm.
