West stand lower, stocky, bald fella. Took the header well and also took the applause well.
Yup, West Lower.
Saw the geezer in ESL too.
Two decent moments from the WSL:
1. Header back from the WSL - South end.
2. Retaining the ball when we were leading and it had gone out for a QPR throw - North end.
Great work fellas.

Excellent header, & rightfully took a bow afterwards. Soak it up, son.
And, as Bozza has said, bravo also to the man at the more northern end of the WSL who tried to make the QPR player walk all the way over to him to collect it. Applause all round.

So, was there a pitch invasion by a dog?

There was no dog, more's the pity. I was bemoaning the little things that have been left behind in the modern game...like wagon wheels for sale at the game, Fred Oliver selling Shoot, Match and Argus...dogs running onto the pitch and blokes heading the ball back from the crowd. Not seen that last one in ages. Sod's Law that it happens twice in one game!

Anyone remember the Club secretary getting the sack at the Goldstone around 1989? We were playing Man City and won 1-0 but the ball went out over by the west and the club secretary (I think) wearing very 80's glasses nodded the ball into the West Terrace. Man City complained and unjustly the guy had to resign I seem to recall. It more like hit him bang on the top of the head and went out, I dont think the guy had any idea where the ball would end up. Also he seemed to be sitting on a camping stool much like the Press photographers used to.

Club secretary?
That was Keith Cuss, the somewhat mature (age-wise at least
) head of the ball boys, who quite deliberately- and amusingly- back headed it into the crowd when we were a goal up in a tight game against City. He knew exactly what he was doing, wasting a few seconds, though I'm also fairly sure it was a largely spontaneous act, and not part of a dastardly plan. City complained (rightly, really) and he got fired from his ball boy duties.
