The wit and wisdom of Clarets fans

[keith1879]

At Bradford many years ago I recollect us singing "You ate all the pies" at their (Then) mascot "The City Gent". He opened his briefcase - took out a pork pie, gave us a wave and ate it. Probably a regular stunt but it made everybody laugh - and sometimes it is quite nice to have a rapport with the other team.......but not after the kick-off.

Went to Carlisle in the 80s. They had a bulldog that was their mascot that they would walk around the ground. Seem to remember Burnley fans chucking bits of pie crust on to the pitch. Dog was going mental trying to get at the food and was literally dragging the bloke on the lead around the ground.

Wrexham away in the mid 80s. Joey Jones who had God knows how many winners medals with Liverpool was seeing the twilight of his career out , came on as a late substitute for the Welsh men.

To be greeted by a rousing "You're not famous anymore!"

After Tommy Doherty had been forced to resign as Man Utds gaffer for have an extra marital affair. His poor son came to the turf as a player soon after. The Longside made the less than subtle enquiry to Docherty Junior-

"Who's ya father sh**ging now!?"

More recently to John Terry - "same old terry always cheating!"
