AdminLeicester City supporters ensured the pre-season friendly at Burton Albion had its fair share of humour as they turned their attention to the home goalkeeper with a familiar terrace chant.
While the action on the pitch remained the main attraction, the travelling Foxes fans kept up a lively atmosphere throughout the contest.
Their vocal backing for Russell Martin’s side was constant, but one moment in particular quickly caught the attention of those inside the stadium.
As the Burton goalkeeper prepared to restart play, sections of the Leicester support broke into a chant aimed in his direction, singing: “You’re just a shit Danny Ward🎶”
The chant prompted smiles from some supporters and added to the light-hearted feel of the afternoon, with pre-season fixtures often giving fans the chance to enjoy themselves away from the pressure of competitive football.
Danny Ward, who previously represented Leicester City, remains a familiar figure among the club’s supporters, making the comparison an amusing talking point during the game.
The chant was repeated on several occasions as the match progressed, with the away end clearly enjoying the exchange.
The incident was one of several memorable moments from Leicester’s visit to Burton, where the travelling support once again showed why they are regarded as one of the Championship’s most passionate fanbases.
Even in a friendly, the Foxes faithful created a vibrant atmosphere that ensured there was never a quiet moment inside the ground.
