I quite enjoyed Ian Baird scoring with his arse while lying on the floor in the six-yard box. Can't remember who it was against.

is that the guy who when he dived in the air, his shorts fell down, and when he tried to pull them back up he was kneeling on them so he couldn't revealing all infront of the north stand?

if so, I was going to say that too

LOL that's quality!

Dunno who it was against (Maybe Southend) but one of their defenders cleared a ball out over the south stand and into the trees, and everyone watched it, including a few of the albion players not realising they had taken a quick throw in, in which they scored from. Queue all fans around me F-ing and blinding.. wasnt funny at the time but thinking back now crack me up how confused everyone was when their players were celebrating hahaa

Millwall fans waisting time by keeping the ball in the East Terrace (at The Goldstone) when they were losing in play-offs semi.

Away to Palace. Not sure if it was the Kelvin Morton penalty game, but it was around that time. About 10 mins to go and away to our right a Palace fan was making his way out of the ground, but stopped on the steps to hurl some abuse at us. We reacted, and he upped the ante, to the point where a couple of Her Majestys finest started making their way over to him. On seeing this we were cheering and goading him all the more, and he was reacting even more. As they got closer, we got louder and he was going crazy. Leaping around, hand gestures, screaming at the top of his voice, thinking we were reacting to him, and not his impending arrest, of which he was blissfully ignorant of.

Finally, the old bill reached him, and grapped him. The look of shock on his face, the re-signed body language, all greeted by huge cheers from us in the away end, as he was slowly led away. Tremendous fun. I laughed all the way home thinking about that one.

It was Mr Morton's game.

A few spring to mind...

Jimmy Case being sent off (was it against Leicester?) for timewasting when taking a corner but he was pleading his innocence because of his deafness and hadn't heard the ref's whistle.

Again Jimmy Case, an evening game I think (maybe Swansea at The Goldstone) and there was a player down with Malcolm Stuart attending to him and Jimmy goes down holding his ankle during the break in play. The away physio decides he has to help out because of the way Jimmy went down and runs right across the pitch to give him the treatment and as he puts his bag down ready to treat him Jimmy jumps up and runs away laughing!

Anyone remember Danny Cullip running the ball out of play at Withdean with the away striker all over his back hacking away at him to try and get through him to the ball and when the ball finally runs out Danny turns and we all think he's going to chin the other guy but he blows him a kiss and runs off laughing towards halfway blowing more kisses back!

And back in the late 80s when the prize for the bingo or somesuch was a car, said car was parked next to the pitch near the tunnel and when Devon White (remember him? Huge black kiddy playing for one of the Bristol teams at the time I think but could be wrong) came running out of the tunnel and onto the pitch to warm up he fell over the car!

I remember Kit Napier taping the ball into the net after the 'keeper put the ball down thinking he'd been awarded a free kick. The keeper rurned and walked back into the net to start his run up for the kick only to see the ball trickle past him and the ref pointing to the centre circle. (I think is was against Chesterfield).

Another amusing one was Brian Horton taunting Kenny Samson to try and tackle him on a certain Boxing Day.

Albion being awarded a penalty and Kit Napier placing the ball on the spot and going back to run in and take it when Alan Duffy ran in and blasted it against the cross bar. It was in 1971 and we drew 0-0 with PNE, I was very very angry at the time but 40 years later I suppose it was funny.

I remember that, Freddie Goodwin was not amused !

many years ago I went to watch Huddersfield play Coventry....One of teh Coventry players did a sliding tackle in the area and ripped his shorts and jock strap. Anyway, the coach ran on and behind the goal he took off his shorts and the jock strap so revealling the smallest dick you have ever seen.

The Cov fans started singing..." What the f***ing hell is that".

that whole end was full of people, players , coppers all pissing themselves laughing and the player looked crestfallen

I know Devon White was a big lad, but how the f***, does someone trip over a CAR?

Early 70's - John "Shirley" Templeman taking a breather at the near post waiting for an opposing corner to be taken was abused by a young lad in the North Stand. Shirley told him to "F*ck off" and the lad scarpered up the terraces and fell over.
