Wycombe Wanderers striker Adebayo Akinfenwa has condemned the offensive chanting made by several MK Dons fans in the Chairboys' 1-0 defeat at Adams Park.

On numerous occasions throughout the match, several visiting supporters were singing a slanderous song towards the 38-year-old substitute.

It began before the all-Buckinghamshire clash kicked off during the warm up, before it continued just five minutes into the contest.

Manager Gareth Ainsworth was seen waving his finger to the MK fans, encouraging them to stop but the supporters ignored his pleas.

And not long after the away side took the lead on 13 minutes thanks to a Scott Twine goal, the inappropriate chanting was heard again.

This time, Akinfenwa left the subs bench and tried to speak to the opposing fans before referee Rob Lewis paused the match.

Sadly, this continued throughout the contest despite many public announcements on the club's official tannoy, though the chanting was drowned out by boos from the Wanderers supporters.  

Speaking after the defeat, Akinfenwa said: “It’s been a few weeks since the chant has come about.

“We played Oxford here, heard it.

“I think it started with the gaffer and then my name and then it was left, then Morecambe, and now today [January 29].

“For me, I can take jokes, I can banter, but there are kids here and that’s what it was.

“Where has this trend come from?

“And the reason why I went up there [to the MK fans] was that I was doing it for those who cannot put this on their shoulders.

“If I don’t know you, you can’t affect me but there are going to be some individuals out there that feel some type of way, and what I want to happen now is for this to be nipped in the bud.

“It’s not a trend, it’s not funny and the words and chants they are saying, there is no banter to it.

“A few weeks back we went away to Ipswich and we went back and forth and it was banter.

“I didn’t mind doing that as that was entertainment, but this is not.

“Some people may say that 'it’s a joke', but if you know me, you know I can take a joke.

“This is not a joke, and whatever the authorities need to do, just shut it down and we keep on moving.”

The striker also revealed that MK’s manager in Liam Manning, along with the club’s chairman, Pete Winkleman apologised on the behalf of the club, whilst a statement from the North Bucks side was released denouncing the chants.

The same chant has also been heard at several other football grounds across the country.

Akinfenwa continued: “The chairman and manager came up to me and said sorry, and said that’s not what they stand for.

“I said ‘thank you’ as it was big of them to say that.

“As long as this gets sorted out, I can handle this on my shoulders but enough is enough and as long as this doesn’t happen again, I’m good.”

Akinfenwa is retiring from professional football at the end of the season.
