trotter58 Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Mid 1970's, BWFC v Fulham. Supporter walks onto the pitch mid-game and gives Rodney Marsh a handbag. Does anybody else remember this, or did i just dream it?

chief wiggum Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Haven't we recently done this, or did I dream it?
casual1690 Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Remember that well, was in the Manny road at the time, so funny that. How old are we
marple whites Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Bristol Rovers away at Twerton Park on a sunday. Load of Bolton lads smashed up a boozer and then hit someone with an exhaust pipe as people spilled out. Sat in the traffic outside the boozer with my dad - was about 14 at the time. Very scary
kent_white Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Ian Wright at Burnden, at the corner flag at the Great Lever End. Looking up into the sky. I saw a pair of legs swoop down into view from under the roof. All the players pointing up atthr sky. Was apparently some guy trying to parachute onto the pitch. Same guy who landed in the ring of a World Championship fight in Las Vegas. Why he thought a 4th rounf FA Cup tie at Burnden would be a good follow up is beyond me? Also, same game, Ian Wright mooned burnden terrace, remember him having a right good crack with the fans. Fair play to him. Also remember going to the replay at Arsenal wasone of the best nights of my life and the reason I don't appear in my 5th year school photo at Deane. Andy Walkers comeback game with a goal. Roy of the Rovers stuff. Sniff, I'm getting emotional!
bolty58 Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Could be here all day with this one. A few only Pulling off Wembley Car Park after 3-0 defeat by Bristol City. 3 West Indian coppers chatting whilst blocking traffic to let us out. A lad in our car pokes out of the window up to his waist a sings the Cadburys Trio jingle at the top of his lungs. Coppers just lost it. Leicester fan stabbed in the Lever End being rushed down the steps on a St Johns stretcher with a lad from Tonge Moor running alongside tw@tting him with half a house brick. St Johns ambulanceman hitting a Chelsea fan with the half way line flagpole and then treating his head wound Blacking out with excitement when Frankie Worthy scored the second of his two (and the winner against the scum) at Old Trafford fulfilling my lifetime dream (up to that point) only to come round and be accosted by a stupid old (rich) bat in a mink coat and wielding her handbag :::::::::: Denis Smith playing ten pin bowling with coppers at Deepdale Road. A lad from Denvale hanging from a girder with one hand in the away end at Millmoor watching the game with police and firemen under him with a makeshift net.
kent_white Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Sorry for the atrocious spelling, It's 11pm over here and I've had a few!
jules_darby Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Huddersfield and Birmingham fans climbing up the floodlights on the embankment was odd - I'm sure it's been done on numerous occasions before.

trotter58 Posted July 26, 2007 Author Posted July 26, 2007 I remember seeing Celtic play Rapid Vienna at Old Trafford in the UEFA Cup after the original game had to be replayed when there was crowd trouble at Parkhead. 50,000 Celtic supporters descended on Old Trafford for the game. Half-way through the second half, with the Rapid Vienna keeper blatantly time-wasting, a Celtic supporter ran on and rugby tackled him! They both ended up fighting in the back of the net at the Stretford End with a load of coppers trying to pull them apart!
bwfc6ix Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 About 4 years ago when we played birmingham at home.. one of the birmingham fans was kickin off in teh stand so one of the stewards ran over to grab him and they just fell all teh way down the stairs to the bottom :::::::: made me laugh
Doctor Tongue Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Spider losing it with some old dear who told him his language was appalling..... She never came again........ Bristol Rovers away kit in the mid 80's - a kind of flourescent pink and orange checks number. Even their players where pissin their sides at wearing it

Bristol Rovers away kit in the mid 80's - a kind of flourescent pink and orange checks number. Even their players where pissin their sides at wearing it Ta for that Doctor. I'm trying to maintain an air of toffee-nosed detachment on here and you've revealed my dark past as a Burnden potty mouth. For the record, I was mighty impressed with my olympic standard swearing on that occasion. I felt 10 feet tall. One of the daftest things I ever did was at a reserves match vs United at Burnden. A young unknown was taking a corner for the reds right in front of me so I proceeded to tell him at volume that he would rot in the reserves and make f?ck all of his career. He gave me a load of verbal as he ran back to the half way line. And I'm a clever lad and therefore am rarely wrong. His name, for the record, was David Beckham.
athywhite1958 Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Some of the worst scenes I've ever seen at a match were at Bloomfield Road when Kevin Olsen got killed, there was a load of scrapping with all sorts of objects being thrown, I got hit with one of them little bottles of paint you had for airfix models, the atmosphere was definitely scary. Burnley away when Nicky Spooner got his leg broke, you could hear it all over the ground, the violence that day was a bit heavy

Burnley fans were so incensed, yet so bafflingly poor, that they resorted to throwing horseshit at us outside.

Yer not wrong there R. Not many who were there could ever forget that day. Coincidentally, one of the Blackpool lads who was with Kevin Olsen and who actually held him up while they waited for medical help to arrive is in my scooter club down here. Never been to a football game since. Started following LCCC from that day on.
Lever Ender in L.A. Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Carlisle away in the late sixties, at that time their ground was surrounded with fields, someone had left a gate open and all the neighbourhood cows were all over the pitch, if you helped to chase them off you got into the game for free, then their groundstaff came out with massive containers and shovelled all the shite away, that same day Carlisle's mascot was a stuffed fox in their colours that was always placed on the center spot before the game, A gentleman with Lever End connections ran on and booted it up in the air, might have been the same Lever Ender who put his foot through a big base drum that was always being banged at QPR when Rodney Marsh accepted the handbag it was only after it had been offered to George Best who was well upset and you could see him having a go at the Bolton lad The violence after the stabbing at Blackpool was made worse by the fact that they kept us all in the ground for hours, the news spread around Blackpool and we ended up battling lads who had nothing to do with Blackpool footy club, but the one that really had me shatting myself was Millwall away early seventies night match, I think it was the league cup, there was only a couple of coaches went, after the game most windows put in and one pussy jumping up stabbing at us through the window with a butchers knife.....the nerve of some peoples children !!!
trotter58 Posted July 27, 2007 Author Posted July 27, 2007 when Rodney Marsh accepted the handbag it was only after it had been offered to George Best who was well upset and you could see him having a go at the Bolton lad Rodney Marsh later claimed that he'd attempted a citizen's arrest but i don't remember that! Didn't Bobby Moore also play in that game?
DavidBWFC Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 i've got a good recent funny moment at a footy match, end of season game against birmingham in 06 they had realised they were for the drop and so they did the conga which was being led by bin laden and bush, i kno this isn't too funny but then when the guy in the wet suit jumped over the ad boards in his flippers, snorkel n goggels i couldn't help but laff wot was just as funny was the bobby tryin to catch him but he just couldn't keep up which led to the 'hooligan' as police would say dived into the net, he was able to get up n walk off the pitch without anyone gettin him, our stewards must have thought eh up a bit of action at the reebok, am i the only one to remember this, it was at the south stand end, brightened up the day i spose.
bolty58 Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 I've got a good recent funny moment at a footy match. End of season game against Birmingham in 2006. They had realised they were for the drop and so they did the conga which was being led by Bin laden and Bush. I know this isn't too funny but then when the guy in the wet suit jumped over the advertising boards in his flippers, snorkel and goggles, I couldn't help but laugh. What was just as funny was the bobby trying to catch him but he just couldn't keep up which led to the 'hooligan' (as police would say) diving into the net. He was able to get up and walk off the pitch without anyone getting him. Our stewards must have thought "ey up a bit of action at the Reebok". Am I the only one to remember this? It was at the South stand end. Brightened up the day I suppose. Translated into English. Sgt. Spellcheck.
junot Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Early seventies (I think), on the Lever end. A gang off Blackpool fans were roped off next to the Burnden Paddock and a toilet seat was thrown at them from the Bolton section, I'd like to say it hit one of them but I can't remember for sure, but it was funny at the time.

I seem to remember someone throwing a turnip at Graham Taylor when he was manager of Wolves, as he walked to his seat in the dug-out opposite the Manny Road Paddock.
Whites man Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 I seem to remember someone throwing a turnip at Graham Taylor when he was manager of Wolves, as he walked to his seat in the dug-out opposite the Manny Road Paddock. Did he not like that.
SatanGreavsie Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Always struck me as very odd how in the late 70s the Paddock went through a phase of bouncing a massive red hard plastic ball around. I dont mean football size, I mean fookin massive. Never figured where the hell it/they came from and the hell anyone could possibly get it into the ground - but someone on here reckoned they were from groundsman's wheelbarrow? One odd thing I remember on the pitch was the Plymouth keeper injuring his arm and, as they'd used both subs, swapping with an outfield player and going upfront. But undoubtedly the funniest and scariest and strangest thing I ever saw at Burnden was Taddy Nowak
