- Kenneth "Kenny" Burns (born 23 September 1953) is a former Scotland international footballer, most famous for his time with Nottingham Forest, where he played a vital role in their European Cup successes. Burns was born in Glasgow, and started his career with Rangers as an apprentice but left for Birmingham City aged 17, in 1971. He arrived at the Blues as a defender, but was converted to striker after Bob Latchford left in 1974, and earned the first of his 20 international caps in that role soon afterwards. However, after joining Nottingham Forest for £150,000 in 1977, he was converted back into a central defender by Brian Clough and Peter Taylor. Burns proved a great success in his new role and was voted FWA Footballer of the Year in 1977-78, as Forest won the First Division title. He was an influential figure in the side's European Cup campaigns over the next three seasons, his defensive partnership with Larry Lloyd instrumental to Forest's victory in the 1979 and 1980 tournaments. He also managed to score in the second leg of the 1979 UEFA Super Cup final victory against Barcelona. At one time he was renowned for his 'wild man' image and while maintaining an aggressive nature, he also possessed a shrewd football brain and was always likely to score vital goals. Burns left the City Ground in 1981 when Forest accepted a £400,000 offer from Leeds United for him. He stayed with the Yorkshire side until 1984 and played with Derby County, Notts County (on loan), Barnsley and Elfsborg in the latter stages of his professional career. He went on to represent a string of non-league clubs as player or player-coach, finishing up as assistant manager of Telford United in 1993.
- Kenneth «Kenny» Burns, er en skotsk tidligere fotballspiller, mest kjent for sin tid i Nottingham der han var en viktig brikke da klubben vant den engelske ligaen i 1977-78 og Europacupen to ganger i 1979 og 1980. Han ble også kåret til Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year i 1978. Burns startet sin karriere hos Rangers som lærling, men gikk i 1971 til Birmingham City. Han var egentlig forsvarsspiller, men ble fra 1974 brukt som angrepsspiller for å erstatte stjernen Bob Latchford som ble solgt til Everton, og fikk senere sine første landskamper for Skottland som angrepsspiller. Han spilte 170 ligakamper for Birmingham, og scoret 45 mål. Han ble kjøpt opp av Nottingham Forest for 150 000 pund i 1977, og ble flyttet tilbake til forsvaret av manager Brian Clough. Fram til han ble solgt til Leeds for 400 000 pund i 1981 var han en viktig brikke i Nottingham-forsvaret, hvor han spilte 137 ligakamper og scoret 13 mål. Etter tre sesonger som Leeds-spiller spilte han senere for Derby, Notts County, Barnsley og i tillegg IF Elfsborg i Sverige. Senere har han spilt fotball for diverse amatør-klubber i England. Han spilte totalt 20 landskamper for Skottland og scoret ett mål. Burns var med i Skottlands tropp i VM i fotball 1978 i Argentina.
