Ladies and gents,

I’m working on a project all about the ‘tinpotery’ of non league football. Character based, antics driven comedy type thing.

I’m doing a bit of research and looking for as many amusing ‘non league stories’ as possible.

Stuff like Fenty snapping the kids flag, one of our fans rolling down the stand in a bin, etc etc

Not exclusive to non league - more just stuff you wouldn’t get at a premier league ground.

Appreciated in advance!

The mistaken signing of Serge Makofo is a must, I’d say.

'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.
