One Kenny Ashwood, there’s only one Kenny Ashwood, one Kenny Ashwood, there’s only one Kenny Ashwood!
During a dull moment the Celtic crowd turned their attention to a particularly small player in East Stirling colours. Out of amusement the Jungle began to cheer the East Stirling players’ every touch particularly this one wee guy in the number 10 shirt. The programme listed the player as Kenny Ashwood when in fact the wee guy concerned was Bobby McCulley. Ashwood was running around Parkhead totally perplexed to why the Jungle should be chanting his name, meanwhile McCulley became something of a minor celebrity in Scottish football circles afterwards, being named as Scotland’s smallest player at 5 feet 2 inches after his Parkhead appearance.
