I remember Neil Buckley scoring a goal then running into the net like a mental patient in the 80's, poor lad used to get so much stick I think his head exploded when he scored
Big Billy was Norwich City away. Their fans were taking the piss about his size so when a cross came over he just took out their keeper and jogged in front of the City fans smiling. Magic.
Dennis Wise sat in front of Kempton laughing a hideous p**s taking laugh at us , until getting a pie full in the face.
The PA announcer at BP saying something like 'It's really cold today , if I were you I'd stand close together to keep warm' , then, 'on second thoughts, can you spread out to make it look like more of you- the cameras are here' .can't remember exactly when, sometime in the 70s with rubbish crowds
When the Reverend was singing his half time song at Christmas (can't remember his name) and was in full swing doing his little 'bob bob bob' in between verses. Roary was rolling around the floor with his hands on his ears as if he couldn't stand it. That was when the guy who played Roary was a pro, think he went off to be Exeter's mascot, or so the legend went.
That Jay Tabb one was hilarious. Deano's yellow while warming up and getting in the way of Delap's throw was funny, as was McShane wiping his armpits with Delap's towel in the same game.
Playing away at Middlesbrough in the snow wearing all white shirts was quite funny, also having to borrow Newcastles shorts because ours apparently got left at home. Watching the Kidderminster goalkeeper throw a hiss fit after the sixth goal went in was also pretty good
The Reverend Bagshaw. Hmm.... Yeah, he did go to Exeter. He was a good lad. Used to join us for a beer post match occasionally.
Yes, he was a quality roary, remember him warming up on the touch line, appealing for the manager to put him on, when the fourth goal went in against a poor Hartlepool, one Tuesday night. Think the famous Peter Beardsley turned out for the chimp chokers that evening.
Steve Morgan going in to tackle someone and sliding into the well at BP comes to mind! That and when an opposing player smashed the ball out into Kempton and it hit a kid sat on one of the terrace barriers flush in the face. He seemed to do a full 360 as his legs were hooked under him before he fell!
I remember Paul Jewell playing for Bradford (I think) at BP and a few of us were near the front of Kempton and kept throwing dogs abuse at him which, surprisingly, he appeared to keep reacting to. It got to the point where he pulled up his shorts near us to reveal a tatoo of a rose on his @rse (?), cue the linesman waving his flag, calling the ref over who promptly sent him off! Also, in a game at West Ham our substitute was Herry Ngata, the West Ham announcer when naming the two teams before the game got as far as 'on the bench today for Hull is...' followed by a pause and then he came out with 'Henry Newgate' - priceless!
And the funniest part of that was looking down the length of East Stand at EVERYONE doing the 'rolling hands' signal to come off....priceless! Am surprised nobody has yet mentioned our favourite hate model doing the Brownie piss take at Citeh after scoring the pen (or has that been done to death by the media).
Does anyone remember a friendly against a Cuban 11 side? It was an evening game in the late 80's, unsurprisingly there was little away support and the Cubans turned out to be rubbish at football. We were winning 7 or 8 nil with them barely making it into our half. Toward the end their striker broke free of our defence on the half way line and was clean through on goal. The entire ground roared him on with only Hesford(I think) to beat. Sadly he missed and the crowd chorused "awwwwww" and gave him the biggest round of applause of the night. I also recall a game around the same time when we were playing Reading. We were so rubbish in the first half (losing 2-0) that the crowd started singing for Reading instead. It seemed to spur City on and I think we seemed a different team in the second half bringing it back to 2-2.
