oafc0000 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) We can all say "Redfearn's penalty", "The great escape" or "Adams goal v Man. Utd" so lets ban those. Lets have your amusing, strange, weird ones. 4. Ormondroyd's goal on his home debut in his second spell. As he galloped through, I've rarely laughed as much in my life. When he buried it, I thought I was gonna die. 3. Having jumped over the wall onto Little Wembley, we were involved in a heated game of Wembley doubles. Then manager Joe Royle came through the gates rollicking us. We all legged it but forgot to grab the mentally handicapped lad who used to hang around with us. Royle took him home. 2. My mate Ady's mum bought him a new coat (one of those Umbro bench jackets that were big at the time). He wore it the next day at Huddersfield. It was his pride and joy. After the game we had to run to get the coach. He ran past a fence and the sleeve caught on a fence and completley tore the sleeve off. 1. A guy was stood drinking bovril in the Chaddy End in about 1988/9 I think. Willie Donachie was warming up doing shooting practice. As the guy took a drink the ball hit him full in the face. The combination of scalding bovril, a cold day and a Mitre Delta travelling at about 65mph didn't look a god one. Probably the best post I have read on these boards Well done It was so much better back in the day Edited September 8, 2009 by oafc0000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 From more recent times, Simon Charlton’s carefully struck back-spinner sailing over the keeper, causing me to spit balti pie all over Mrs Warne’s head whilst falling over the chairs in fits of laughter. Being shadowed by a firm of malnourished 11 year old Scouse chavs walking back from Goodison in the Cup game Having my nose broken when we scored at Goodison in the cup game. Seeing the filthy Scunny defenders hitting the deck after THAT equaliser. The mentalness when Taylor got his first goal. The theme to Steptoe and Son coming over the Tannoy after we beat Tranmere at BP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am i imagining this or was there a time when fans had novelty inflatables at boundary park? for some reason i remember inflatable dogs and skeletons?! A guy in the lookers paddock went to head a ball that was heading into the crowd. He went right over the barrier and collapsed in a heap on the other side. Cue the paramedics. He was fine but must have felt a bit foolish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemathieson Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Running the gauntlet to take a half-time penalty at Ramsey, Isle of Man and then informing the P.N.E. Fans massed behind the goal that “we're the pride of Lancashire“. Fans mimicking the linesman in the Isle of Man: Singing the Sean Gregan chippy song all through our match against P.N.E. In Douglas Memories of when we used to play over here! Personal memories from when they were over were kissing Andy Ritchie on his bald head and getting Junior Agogo's autograph, and then he fell over afterwards and turned and said to me "you're on my shoelace" in the weirdest Africanesque voice ever! The half time penalty shootouts were class! Used to love stepping up to represent Latics fans as a young teenager, and saving a few too! What about when Chaddy and Bloomfield Bear had the fight in the FA Cup match we lost 5-2 IIRC, and Wellens scored from them with that screamer! My dad telling me to pick up my programme from under my seat when 3-0 down to Bolton in a restricted view seat at Burnden Park. I then missed Mark Allott's first ever goal!

alwaysablue Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 there have been a few last minute equalisers and winners but one that always seems to stick out for me is matty o'hallorans in the game against rushden and diamonds in 2003 i think.

Stevie Whitehall Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Doing the konga and singing always look on the bright side of life to the Man Ure fans at Wembley until.... Frankie Bunn's six goals. Earl Barrett's goal at Anfield making standing on the Kop worthwhile. Neil Adams' two late goals at Everton and stamping our feet to create noise in that wooden stand but i cant help it but to remember the horrible sickening minutes silence before the game for James Bulger. Why did Frankie Bunn's six goals stop you doing the conga at Wembley? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

th2003 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Athletic versus Arsenal. League Cup 1989. 2-0 up and we win a free kick about 35 yards out. Denis Irwin places the ball on the plastic and takes a few steps back whilst Arsenals 2 man wall get into place. Irwin strikes the ball clean and true only for it to halted 10 yards away as the rocket hits Kevin Richardson square in the nuts. Richardson doubles up in a messy heap on the floor and over 10000 men wince in unison. Still brings a tear to my eye now. Priceless, but probably very painful.

wogghead1 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 standing on the burnden terrace in the fa cup quarter final on my own after my dad only got himself a ticket for the latics end, buying one from a tout outside for £35!!!! a lot of money to a 16yr old. beckford scoring and me jumping around like a loony, threatened to get killed by the bolton fans with the stewards and police advising me to leave quickly or face the consequences from the home fans. i stood my ground (latics top showing) and witnessed one of my greatest latics moments. aaahhh the memories.

wogghead1 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 in the 80s at huddersfields old ground, they scored, it got disallowed, we went up the other end and scored much to the displeasure of the huddersfield fans, two of them jumped over the fences and laid into the linesman!!!!
