Kenny burns

[GOAT 17,678]

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?

What team did Archie gemmell support aswell? Had no idea he played for forest

I played against him as a youngster...Gowanbank v Burnbrae.

We let a lot of players slip away  including one Kenny Dalglish who would have signed for us in a hearbeat....such is life.

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.  Sadly never going to happen now unlesss we get into the premiership

I think Steve Archibald was a Bear too. Played for Barcelona in the 86 final.

Gordon McQueen was a Bear growing up as well. Would have played for Leeds in the 75 final but was suspended.

Junkie bastard imo

[onefootwillie 1,443]

His problem was discipline. He has some record for being sent off. I think from memory that was the reason he was let go.

Theres a video of the mad bastard heading the back of an arsenal players head because the guy stands in front of him at a free kick

What made it for me is that the defensive wall had their arms round the player each side of them. So when the ref turned around he couldn't figure out what had happened and had to just let it go.

He wasn't a double European cup winner when we let him go is the obvious answer.

He gave an interview a few years back where he says he grew up supporting us so he was a bit apprehensive about going to them to be Assistant.

McQueen was actually signed at one point but allowed to drift away.
