AndyGortonsMatches Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 In one of my first couple of matches as a very young kid in the early 80s, I'm convinced a helicopter landed on the pitch to deliver the match ball for kick off. Am i going mad or did it happen, no one i've asked in person knows anything... This was well before Chris Moore's chopper ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Mikey Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 It was Dennis Law delivering the ball before a live ITV match. Can't remember who against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was an ex player that got out, sometime around 81/82 or 82/83 i think.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SholverBlue Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 One landed behind the Chaddy in the Dave Penney era, I'm sure it did. It's an air ambulance landing zone I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticsPete Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 It was Dennis Law delivering the ball before a live ITV match. Can't remember who against. This. The match was the main game on Granada's Sunday afternoon highlights programme. Think it was against Wolves in 82/3 but could be wrong. The tv gantry was perched high in the Ford (Lookers) stand and Law had some good banter with the crowd when he climbed up the ladder.

pinevillawill Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I've thought about helicoptering after a few goals but don't recall seeing a helicopter at BP pre-M**re era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure that was a police chopper coming for Penney for crimes against football after the signing of Colbeck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a ridiculous statement! Everyone knows police helicopters can't land ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
