Luton Town defender Alan Sheehan has pledged not to celebrate if he scores against Notts County unless he gets a hostile reception from the fans.

The 30-year-old is well known among the Meadow Lane faithful, having played 142 times for the Magpies between 2011 and 2014, as well as during a three-month loan spell from Bradford City last season.

As Notts host the Hatters on Saturday, Sheehan had kind words to say about the fans and said he would mute his fanfare should he score against his former side.

He told the Luton website: β€œI don’t think I would (celebrate). People have those clubs that they’ve played for, and out of respect, I don’t think I’d celebrate.

β€œI enjoyed my time at Notts County. People were very good to me there, so unless they boo me from start to finish, I don’t think I’d celebrate.

"Obviously I’d have to score first, so we’ll decide if that happens. But the fans were always great to me there, so I appreciated that.”

I'm one of those who feels celebrating is only natural, so if he did - I can't say it would anger me. If you play with passion, its almost expected to release something after scoring but I would praise Alan for choosing not to do it.
