albion things that should not make you laugh but did!

[Return of the Rev]

1)The guy sitting behind the goal up at mansfield in a wheelchair when nobby horton hit a ball so hard and knocked him out his chair nobby came over and was pretty helpful afterwards.
2}Then there was the bloke wearing head phones at the back of the north stand when spurs came steaming in,i think he could have been chilling out with his eyes closed,a big gap opened up except for him and he took the full force of our london friends

I vaguely remember a pitch side rozzer catching a 30 yarder right in the face in the early 80s. Hit the deck and knocked his helmet off. Got almost a big a cheer as if a goal went in.

 

[Mendoza]

When we beat Man City, the bloke in the electric wheel chair invading the pitch, only for the stewards to wheel him back off, with him still waving.

In the next round we played Derby, I think. A bloke got chucked out the South Stand by the stewards, only for his prosthetic leg to fall off

I thought that was Colin Hawkins

The squirrel that overtook Nathan Jones running down the wing at Withdean.

 

[Mendoza]

Spending £100,000 on a player based on watching a DVD of their career highlights...

 

[Superphil]

When Batipiedi hit the bar on Tuesday night. I know it is not right to laugh at your own players, but for me, it just about summed up his evening.

 

[peterward]

On Tuesday against Working. I think it was Battipiedi who did an air s

hot. Swiped and completely missed. both me and the Mrs cracked up laughing

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Gerry Ryan ? Or Geri-atric as we used to call him in his later days. Always remember the time in the North stand when the song went up "There's only one Gerry Ryan", to which someone replied "If there was two, we'd love the other one"

The hapless Hawk - & that header.

This would be the same w/d that pretended to be an invalid at Wrexham (I think), and was put in a wheelchair by the side of the pitch only to have a Little Britain style recovery when we scored.

 

[dannyboy]

i was in the south stand years ago before kick off . kevin bremner was taking shots and blasted one. i was standing in an isle at the time and looked up to see the ball literally 3 feet away . it was hit very hard so at the last minute i ducked . this didnt help the old dear who was standing behind me with a cup of tea held to her mouth who took it full on in the mush

what is a, or who is, w/d?

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

'Dad's got chips' a largish 30 to 40 something bloke with thick glasses who follows the Albion home and away with his elderly parents. Nickname comes from either Kingstonian or Birmingham away thirteen odd years ago when he excitedly called out "Dad's got chips" as his dad walked back from the burger stand holding a polystyrene plate of chips.

well he aint in the 1901 thats for sure

 

[peterward]

You young ones won't remember this, I barely do myself and I can find no refererence to it anywhere on internet.

(Does anyone remember?)

It was back in around 1981/82 Albion played a friendly match ( i think it was against Nigeria or Algeria before World Cup 82) at the Goldstone and we won, but again from memory (was it 5-0?).

Anyway we got a free kick attacking the south stand about 25-30 yards out and a bloke called Jimmy Case puts the ball down. The others lined up a wall of about 4 or 5 blokes. I guess the foreign opponents had no idea about Jimmy's right peg.

Case unleased an absolute thunderbolt, that caught one of the geezers square in the face, and he went down like a domino, no knee bend, just like a felled tree.

We were standing side onto the opponents wall in the south-west stand and you suddenly saw one geezer fall vertically backwards.

Shouldn't laugh really, He was stretchered off by the St Johns, i guess he didn't remember much more about that evening.

I also saw a copper once get hit full on by the ball as he was walking around the edge. Now that was definately funny
