RichmondLatic Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 The other thread sparked this one... I cracked my head against a pylon when someone pushed me after McAvennie scored for West Ham 1991...needed stitches! Any others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I nearly killed myself by falling infront of car on that dual carriageway going into Hudds. My mates The lads on the bus thought it was hilarious, yeah - I was laughing too when I saw that Volvo's grille up close.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Ah, this would be my territory then. Peterborough away, the 2-2 game. Me and Mr Tulsehill unnaccountably left the ground considerably drunker than we entered it, and we hadn't entered it sober. Walking back to the station, a solitary burberry clad chav started furiously threatening us, without actually coming within 5 yards. He was threatening us with 200 of his mates waiting at the station etc. We continued walking, with me attempting to make the peace by blowing him kisses and winking at him as we went along. At some stage (it's all a bit hazy) a lady copper came along and started speaking to him. I walked past, giving him a final outrageous wink whilst I think the copperette was looking the other way. Then I fell over, I guess on a crack in the pavement or my own feet or something. The copper thought he'd decked me, he thought I was trying to get him fitted up. I thought my leg hurt, as indeed it would as I had done ligament damage that took about 5 months to heal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Who were you? The game: Port Vale or someone like that at home. 2003. The place: Lookers Paddock. The injury: Broken collar bone after toppling over trying to pick the ball up as it rested against the advertising board, causing the entire Lookers stand, players nearby and half the Chaddy to break out into spontanious fits of laughter. Then having the shame of being walked down the entire length of the touchline by the St. Johns Ambulance crew. I salute you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite stunned that this is the silly injury that you chose to mention first... .. strangely this story has reminded me of the time when the 13 year old hard-man tried to 'out-psyche' me and you in the port-vale car park, and we just laughed our head off... but hey, perhaps another thread for 'away team wannabe hard men' is called for....

KYLEOAFC Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 The game: Bristol City vs Latics 17-04-2006 The place: The road opposite the Rocky after the coach dropped us off! The injury: prolapsed disc causing sciatica. Well was on the coach (not the official one) And had a few too many, it was the day I discovered cheeky vimto! Anyhow my mate came to pick us up from Boundary park and I fell out of his car completely wasted and couldn’t move for 3 weeks without pain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Anyway, I presume the one BigFinn wanted was when I was so disbelieving of Super Gaz McDonald's left footed Exocet into the Scousers net that I made a point of waiting a second and checking for linesmens' flags - hence giving Father Dave time to leap up and smash his elbow into my nose, which I managed to break a couple of times in my youth, with tiresomely predictable consequences...

I always seem to think it was Barnsley for some reason and that he came running down the steps and went arse over tit over the hoardings. Though guess it just got sort of exaggerated the more the story got told to non 'tics. Always remember him getting a standing ovation from most of the Lookers. Quite possibly one of the funniest moments ever seen at BP. Edited October 12, 2009 by Rocky_Latic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite possibly one of the funniest moments ever seen at BP. Yeah, I think it possibly was Barnsley now. It was one of those games towards the end of 02-03 when we hit that slightly wobbly patch. Either Notts County, Port Vale or Barnsley at home. It all pales into insignificance though, because even to this day I become a giggly mess when I think back on it. Only, if only that were caught on video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite possibly one of the funniest moments ever seen at BP. I remember it too, though also unsure as to who it was against. Very funny. The only one I've got at Latics was a case of getting winded (and a bruised ego). Away at Chesterfield late 2003, Calvin Zola with the equaliser in front of the Tics fans. It was my first time standing on a terrace and I forgot about the barriers in front. I began to run down to the bottom to try and celebrate with the players and made it down about five steps before crashing right into the metal and down to the floor. I bloody hate Saltergate.

yardie28 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Watford away Aug 1981, John barnes playing for them, latics took one coach with 49 onboard,so as you can imagine the away terrace was pretty sparse, so we decided to sit in the glorious sunshine Watford went one up, we equalised que celebrations jumped up only to be sat under a barrier smashed my head claret everywhere.... Rotherham away same season,back of my mates bike,crashed on the woodhead pass my knee swelled to the size of Joe Royles head, but still made it to the match in complete agony (latics won 3-2 or 2-1) spent a few weeks in plaster, went to Sheff Wednesday on crutches nearly got killed by Wednesday fans as i couldn't move to quickly, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
