Two occasions spring to mind.
The first many years ago in a low level match in Brighton a work colleague of mine ,who was watching the game, wAs standing next to the goal post and talking to his mate who was in goal. A forward on the other side went round the keeper and kicked it towards the goal, my colleague instinctively ran on to the pitch and kicked it away.
No goal.
Another time my son was playing and it was the next week after Lady Di had died. The othe pitches round us were all gathering round the centre circle for a minutes silence. In my sons game the opposition started walking towards the centre circle. The ref blew his whistle and Fishersgate (my sons team) scored virtually straight from kickoff with the other sides goalie standing near the halfway line. Fishersgate won one nil on the day and won the league by one point with the team they beat that day coming second.
