    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.

    Do you mean this one when he took on a 10 year old kid who was about a 10th of his weight?

    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.
