I remember Burns coming on as sub and playing up front with David Hirst as a sort of minder against Wimbledon, after they kicked 9 colours of poo out of Hirst.
You know how your memory fragments a bit as you get older. In my mind that’s the tackle he does every week. He gets sent off at some point and we still win.
I remember Boris Johnson bafooooooning somebody off the ball in a charity mach that made me whince, but i like a good hard no holds barrred challenge,
Was it when the Blunts had a fancy Argentinian (Sabella? something like that). He tried to dance in front of Norman, and next thing I saw, he was up in the air at full stretch, but upside down. He went off. It was a fair tackle that won the ball, but wow!
Sabella was petrified that night. He was diving up in the air whenever a Barnsley player came with two yards of him. However, Norman (playing in midfield) was a cleverer player than him. He made a completely fair but hard challenge and Sabella was finished.
