GOAT 30,449 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Watching a thing on BT sport in this hotel bar just now about the great forest team under clough. They signed a defender kenny burns who played for us as a youth who won two European cups kenny burns. How did we let a double European cup winner slip away and was he one of us aswell?

Had no idea he played for forest Kenny Burns was from Priesthill. We released him as he got sent off a few times in a row while playing amateur football. Archie Gemmill is a Bear and grew up in Feegie. John Robertson who played left wing for Forest in their two finals was also a Bear growing up but he went on to be MON’s assistant at Parkhead. If you think about Liverpool of the time winning European Cups who had Bears playing for them too - Hansen, Dalglish and Wark - it’s mental the talent that slipped through the net.

Still annoys me we’ve never won a European cup and you can’t deny the talent we’ve had for it though.

onefootwillie 1,518 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 His problem was discipline. He has some record for being sent off. I think from memory that was the reason he was let go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when the ref turned around he couldn't figure out what had happened and had to just let it go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't a double European cup winner when we let him go is the obvious answer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
