Strangest thing to happen to you at a match?

Well whats yours? got any storys to tell? well here is one of mine . . . .

Being called out on the tannoy to goto the Ambulance station after going 2-1 up against premiership Leicester in the League Cup in 1997

Turned out my Dad had broke his leg after jumping up to cheer the equaliser goal we scored lol, when he got to the Hospital - Martin O'Neil was there with Steve Walsh & Julian Watts because they got badly injured, if any of you remember Steve Walsh slammed into the goal post trying to stop one of Grimsby's goals going in and injured himself doing so lol.

I missed the rest of the game and the third goal Grimsby Scored! I wasnt very happy to say the least.

My dad got talking to Martin O'Neil and managed to get all 3 autographs on the matchday program lol.

Getting kicked out at half time of what i think was the last ever standing game at BP? (V Wolves) for smoking in the pontoon. I Didnt even smoke at the time!!!!

My story is from an American Football game.  I was at a University of Florida Gators game (about 92,000 people at the game) and I heard my name called over the speaker system to check in with security.  When I went to the office, they told me that my then-girlfriend (an athlete at UF) had been hit by a car as she was riding her bike back to her house.  It turned out she was fine, but I was shitting bricks when I heard I was to "report to security at once"... it felt like all 92,000 people were watching me and wondering just what flipping horrible thing I'd done.

No shite! yours on a grander scale, I felt really paranoid and probally only 8 to 9,000 at this game but I didn't want to stand up and walk anywhere it was a full house, felt like everyone was staring even though they were all watching the game.

a couple of stories!

got kicked out of hillsbrough TWICE when town lost 7-1! first cos i told a steward to fu ck off after he barged into a load of us (or was it cos i was pished!) and then he spotted me again!

bit the same as nelly! Met kieran dyer after he broke his leg at bristol rovers while at west ham. the bloke was gutted but still had the time to speak to me and my mate

The strangest thing that happened to me at a game was very recently,when i looked on the pitch and thought to myself,where did this proper football team come from?

Weird feeling.

Wow thats happened to me too! when was this!? we might be on about the same team!  

my dad got kicked out against crystal palace at home, think we won 5-3 ?

we was sat in the main stand towards the pontoon of the dug out near the front, when he decided it would be clever to go and pull the linesmans shorts down  

actually made it into a few newspapers with that i.e The Sun  

Mine was at Wembley when we played MK Dons in the JPT Final a few years ago. At HT I went to get a drink with my Dad. He got a pint but I was driving so had a soft drink. We went back to our seats with our drinks, I never gave a thought to the fact that you can’t drink alcohol in view of the pitch.

Unbeknown to us, at that point in time, someone was complaining to a steward about some drunken louts that happened to be sat near to us. When we had been sat back in our seats for a few minutes, a steward came up, assumed that my Dad was the lout as he was drinking a pint and wanted to throw him out. My sister and I had to talk the steward out of it, my Dad didn’t have a clue what was going on at the time, he is in his eighties.

Would have been a great laugh had Boshell not missed that pen early doors.

My story was from when I was a kid and we was allowed to sit on the front rail near the barriers in what was then the home end in the Osmond stand. it was around Bonfire night and a fan had thrown a lit rocket firework on the pitch bout 10 yards in front of me and this other kid next to me. It looked like it had gone out but bout 20 seconds later it sparked up again and wizzed straight towards us knocking the kid next to me off the bar and in doing so he chucked his cherryade into his own face. His dad dusted him down, consoled him and popped him back on the bar. He watched the rest of the match sobbing with bright red dried cherryade patches on his face. Proper Vimto smile!!  Never forget that moment. lol.


In another instance I remember someone in the Ponny throw a bog roll on the pitch and it hit the referee in the back of the neck. He went down and had to get treatment from our physio.
