Strangest Thing You've Seen On A Football Pitch .

I saw a lad who used to sit in the row in front of me in the Dolman run on to the pitch during the second half of *that* Cardiff game (you know, the one with the free match programme). He managed to run to the centre circle and back (from the half way line) to retrieve his boot. I didn't see who threw it on (him or a mate), neither do I have any idea whether it was aimed at any player in particular.

 

Game continued and 2 minutes later said lad appeared back in his seat. So either I imagined the whole thing or the referee and stewards were having a blinder (quite literally).

Not really on the pitch, but our infamous game away at CCFC in early 2000's.

One of the welcoming locals stood in the corner of their end nearest to us was head to toe in Burberry check clothing. He had the lot, including gloves and an umbrella that he was constantly waving above his head.

He looked a right tool.

Now you've got me thinking, all of the funniest things I have seen are off the pitch.

Wycombe away some time early 2000's again. We were all plotted up in the famous White Horse before the game-one of our fans found a function room complete with approx 3-4m long lighting rigs, complete with disco balls, lasers etc. one of the bar staff saw him on CCTV and had a go at him.

A couple of hours later the same lighting rig was in the away end at Adams Park.

Same game, there was a penalty shoot out at half time in the goal in front of us - one of them skied it so the ball ended up in the City end for a few minutes.

Bloke went to kick it back but slipped, ball went up at full pelt, rebounded off the steelwork above and hit him square on the hooter.

Two stretcher bearers pursuing an injured player who got straight up again. Then, after the rear one tripped over, the other pursuing the player with the stretcher dragging on the ground behind him.

 

Wouldn't happen now, of course, the player would still be writhing on the ground calling for his mummy...

A T Kettle being used as a ref?

 

When we played Carlisle a few weeks ago Carlisle's Bradley Potts committed a foul which meant Kettle called Potts back (Potts, Kettle, Back(?))

 

Loosely speaking anyway!

 

-----------

Similar to Rule The Waves'; We played Northampton at home a few years ago and over by the Williams the ball was cleared out as a bloke walked up the steps. Nervously he watched as it came off the pitch and over his head and refocused on climbing the steps, drink and food in each hand. The ball hit the roof and came down, hit the step about 6 higher than our friend and shot out horizontally into his face, from the atyeo we saw pie and drink go up.

 

Bit of socceram 3rd eye slapstick

The 8ft hippo being sent off at stoke couldn't have happened often - he was mistaken for a stoke player and confused the linesman

The two things that stick in my mind are, the mascots fighting, and the poor big bass drummer in the Brass band, who seemed to slip and fall in the mud, to roars of laughter...which then turned to stunned silence, when everyone realised the poor bloke had had a heart attack and died...very sad.

Bradley Orrs cousin (or some relative)  running on the pitch naked except for a G string - with something scrawled across his arse - he tried to jump on his back as I recall (?)

 

the police dog attempting to take a lump out of Cureton during their strategic retreat

 

Clemons Zwijnberg or whoever he was - loan keeper with porn star hair and tache

 

anyone else remember the white owl who flew out of the Atyeo during the midweek game - or was that the acid?

Les Bardsley. For those who can't remember him, he was the City physio in the 60s and 70s. He ran onto the pitch with his unique running style - i e a bandy duck with two broken legs. If the match was dull, watching Les running would liven things up

There was definitely a barn owl in the Atyeo, it was there for ages and then just flew off into the night! Not something you expect to see at footy!

Buster only ever wore a tee shirt and track suit bottoms whatever the weather. It might be below freezing but Buster never wore a coat or even a jumper. Either very tough or raving mad.

Tough without question, he's an ex Royal Marine.

Cricket - England v R.O.W. (1980) under lights down the gate...

Two things I remember:

Abdul Qadir bowling an over of six different varieties of spin and Geoff Boycott defending all of them all immaculately.

Ian Botham hitting a huge six into the Dolman and a guy with a tray of six pints weaving to try to avoid it. To his credit, and to the crowd's disappointment, he managed it with minimal spillage.
