Mine..... Nick Deacy giving the 2 fingered salute to a piss taking kempton stand after being substituted. Priceless!!
Linesman giving a two fingered salute to kempton after receiving a torrent of abuse...yes it actually happened! So funny!
A night game with the weather like today's, a city forward, Dave King, sliding along the B/P turf trying to connect with a cross from the left, (McSeveny?) from the 18 yard box and missing the connection but sliding into the barrier around the pitch with his hands in the air and a big smile on his face as he slid, he couldn't do a thing to stop himself as the ground was so sodden.
Can't remember who were playing, but Gary Brabin had just fouled an opposition player,and the ref was talking to him. Kempton (the stand,not me), chanting, off off off off.
Funniest at BP was Keith Edwards throwing his shirt into the dugout when he got substituted. At KC it has to be when we played Coventry (I think) and Jay Tabb got a tap on the ankle. He went down with a very loud girly scream in front of a hushed east stand, then every time he got the ball after that everyone in east stand mimicked his scream. He eventually got substituted, I think their manager felt sorry for him. Tarabt asking to go off when he was getting dogs abuse was also funny.
Fettis scoring v Oxford was a cause of some hilarity. Does anyone else remember the time at BP when the PA announcer said during a game "Can [insert name] please return to his launderette immediately? "
I remember a game sometime during the '70's, I can't remember who we were playing but just before kick off two of their fans got onto the pitch, ran into the centre circle and started flicking the "V's" at a full Bunkers. Only one of them bottled it and legged it, leaving the other one still giving it large until he suddenly realised his mate wasn't with him anymore and he panicked, legging it full tilt across the pitch and diving headlong into the rest of their fans pursued by a couple of coppers.
Another occasion I remember was when an opposition fan got on the pitch to try and stick one on one of our players (Bremner, I think). Anyway, he got hauled off and was being marched down the touch line with a copper on either side of him when one of our lot ran on and jumped on him from behind, resulting in all four of them in a heap with the two fans trading blows before the cops managed to drag them both away.
When we played Halifax town away at the Shay they used a converted shed fot selling pies in the away end, so the City fans decided to turn it over literally !! and more recently when we played QPR at home and Adel Taarabt was having torrid time and kept asking to be subbed
Anybody remember when they stopped the match for a bomb scare ? In the 70's I think. Or the match against Hartlepool when it was foggy ?
Spurs away. FA Cup. Circa 1981. Coach driving out of North London. Stops at traffic lights. Some of our City Agro wannabees jump out of the rear emergency exit. Offer out the collected hordes of Spudz. Safe in the knowledge that they can jump back on the coach before the irate Cockerneys can run the 50 yards or so to the coach. The lights change. The driver, blissfully unaware accelerates away. Cities hardest legging it down the High Road, screaming in high falsetto as the London Boyz sprang into action. We pulled them in just in time but the pisstaking continued until we returned to Ferensway.
Not so much a player moment but more the what fans were wearing, first game of 2001 season I think, we won 3-1 but watched the match through a pair of horrendous Hull City shades that made you feel like you were about to black out.
Delaney losing his shirt after that screamer against Rochdale. Ash came running after him with his shirt to bring it back!
That was the game immediately after a Panarama documentary about the infamous F Troop. [video=youtube;2Eweccg4y8I]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Eweccg4y8I[/video] Harry the Dog. Remember him?
Theo Whitmore taking over in goal for Tranmere at the KC, after their keeper(or was it two),had been stretchered off. At 6-0, the east stand were chanting "Theo give us a wave,Theo Theo give us a wave". Whitmore didn't wave to us, but with hands on hips, he turned his head in our direction,and gave us the biggest grin !
Big Billy had just flattened an opposition player and as their physio grabbed his bag to run on to tend to the stricken player, some wag behind us shouted "I shouldn't bother with that, just take a shovel"!
Don't know if it was the same one but I remember Billy flattening a keeper and I honestly thought that he'd killed him. Brutal, brutal man.
