'One Leg - And You Chucked Him Out!' H Block. Tonight. Funniest. Thing. Ever.

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Sorry, probably fixtures lurking somewhere down bottom with a dull thread title.

But - jeez! - funny as all f*** tonight.

Just before half-time. some kind of melee in the corridor between H Block and G Block. About a dozen stewards pile up the stairs. Next thing, right in front of me, they got him on the ground and - f*** me! - his LEG's come off!

Yup, out of a 6K crowd, the stewards had managed to set upon a seriously pissed one-legged man

Funnier still, Rottweiler skinhead steward, the alleged steward a tad shall we say over-zealous, is the one left holding the leg. And STILL manages to pump up enough aggression to threaten the bloke!

Even the coppers were chuckling

Sadly one-legged bloke never reappeared for 2nd half.

Hence the chant: 'One Leg - And You Chucked Him Out!'


Funniest. Thing. At. Football. EVER.

Fact.

Funniest. Thing. At. Football. EVER.

Fact.

Not as funny as the previous round of the same comeptition, when said stewards let thousands of people invade the pitch after Man City game, but pick on yet ANOTHER disabled person, but this time one in an electric wheelchair, who managed to get to the centre circle before the stewards wheeled him back to the running track

Funniest. Thing. At. Football. EVER.

Fact.

Though tonight was funny, with the steward with the leg have less of a clue than Virgo playing right wing

He arrived down at my turnstiles and when i got him a chair to sit on, while his details were taken his leg popped out again, he then proceded to try and put in on the wrong way round,had me in stitches.

I'm annoyed by what I feel is an inaccuracy in this tale.

Don't the "corridors" run intra-block, not inter-block? That is to say down-to-up thoroughfares have seats of the same block letter either side of them. So the "corridor" was either the G block corridor or the H block corridor, it can't be "the corridor between H Block and G Block".

Or is it so long since I went to Withdean that I'm making this up.

(And Mendoza's tale sounds funnier to me too.)

a) It was the staircase type thing between H Block and G block. No idea what it's technical name is. Do I LOOK like a safety officer?

b) Totally agree that Mandoza's tale is FAR funnier. But never saw that one.


Tho reckon there's a SERIOUSLY decent bit of money to be made by capturing such moments for posterity (note to self: buy decent non-confiscatable nighttime camera)

Typical goony H block story.

twas only a flesh wound

 

[Bluejuice]

I was in H block tonight and enjoyed these very shenanigans also.

Top distraction

It was very very funny. The guy refused to go so the stewards kind of picked him up to remove him. He was saying 'But I'm disabled' and the next thing was his leg fell off and bounced down the steps. I've never seen anything quite like it. The stewards then spent about ten minutes negotiating with him to put his leg back on. 'It's alright, I'll hop' he said.

The chant 'One leg and you chucked him out' had the police, stewards and everyone laughing.

The funniest thing that I've read about football. Just tried to read it out to others at work and couldn't stop laughing. Thanks THPP.

Classic.

We saw two policemen with TG5 (or similar) written on their backs ambling along towards that. Who were they? Had some sort of camera in their hands maybe too.

They filmed the whole thing, as they were there filming everyone who was standing up.

If only there was a shop in town with inflatable legs, we could have a field day taking the piss on Saturday

They were EGT (evidence gathering team). They film all ejections so if there's
a complaint then the film can be used to decide who is in the wrong.

I dont think he will have a leg to stand on

 

[Norman Potting]

..I laughed so much at this the tears nearly ran down my leg!

 

[pornomagboy]

i have the video of the man in his wheelchair on the pitch at full time at the man city game

i'm surprised you were still there at the end of the game......

 

[Questions]

He was very pissed as well (just dont do the gag) and we had no idea he only had one leg. He was admonishing a steward for laughing at him.
