And speaking after seeing his side slip to a 1-0 defeat, he called on authorities to do more to stamp out the abuse.

He said: “I can take jokes, I’m all for the entertainment.

“But there are kids here – where has this come from? The reason I went up there… was for those that can’t put this on their shoulders.

“What I want to happen now is for this to get nipped in the bud.

“It’s not a trend, it’s not funny. The chants they’re saying – there’s no bants to it.

“Some people will be like ‘oh it’s a joke’ – if you know me, you know I can take a joke. That’s not a joke.

“Whatever the authorities need to do, shut it down and we’ll keep moving forward.”

Wycombe gaffer Gareth Ainsworth was spotted pleading with travelling fans to stop singing the abusive chant during the League One clash.

MK Dons’ official account followed Ainsworth’s suit, urging supporters not to engage in abusive chanting.

And Wycombe even posted a message on the big screen urging all supporters in attendance not to engage in abusive chanting.

The fiercely Buckinghamshire derby was decided in the 13th minute when Scott Twine struck for the visitors to score the only goal of the match.
