What's the funniest thing you have ever seen at an Albion match?

[Storer68]

This a million times

It was so funny and didnt his shorts fall down at the same time

they did indeed. Right in front of the North Stand. Oh, how we laughed.

Anyone remember the last game in 1988 against Bristol Rovers. We had just finished the presentation of the Player of Year (a rather smart 14"colour portable TV - well worth winning!) and the presentation area had two sponsors banners tied down with guy ropes.

So as Bristol Rovers came running out of the tunnel at ten to three, all their players managed to avaoid these guy ropes whch were directly in their way...........

Except for their big, bulky black centre forward Devon White who never saw them and ran straight into them and promptly went right Arse over tit in fron of a packed west stand.

Oh, you had to see it!!!

Yes I know, I really should read the thread before diving in late like Adam El abd

that leeds keeper merv day getting caught up i the goal before the game started and having to be cut free

That was hilarious and right in front of a packed north stand too....coupled with the Ian Chapman own goal in the same game.

Keith Cuss's header was brilliant. This was at the time of the inflatables and the man city fans were by the floodlight in the north west corner...next to the north stand. One of the city fans had this huge pair of bright red inflatable lips which kind of went up and down when they moved. The whole north stand was in hysterics.

Anyone who went to the England B v Italy B circa 1992....do you remember the italian bloke in a big fur coat who ran onto the pitch every time one of their players was injured...that was quite amusing.

Little Nigel Erskine sliding into the North Stand Goal at the Goldstone at half-time - can't remember when 1994/95?? - Brilliant!!!!

For anyone who was there this must be the only contender. Not just the funniest thing I've ever seen at football but one of the funniest things I've ever seen full stop. It was during his guest appearance as a mascot wasn't it? Klinsman dive into the North Stand goal mouth, shorts come off and he can't pull them back up for treading on them. I thought I was going to literally die with laughter.

This...definitely...it was the way that he was trying to pull his shorts up whilst waving at the crowd, maybe hoping that we hadn't noticed what he had done...I have told this story to fans of other teams, none of them believe me, in future I will just send them a link to this thread.

It was definitely me , as a ball boy running onto the pitch at the goldstone against Wimbledon and kicking the ball back to Dave Beasant when the game was still going on.

I swear to this day I heard a whistle. Anyway Dave beasant called me " a stupid little ****"........everytime I ran across the pitch to the east stand the whole North stand would sing "Ball Boy give us a way Ball Boy Ball Boy give us a wave" and I duly obliged.

I think probably Huddersfield at home circa 1995. They had a player who had incredibly big ears. For some reason they had used his picture in the programme for some reason. He managed to get injured somewhere around the North East corner of the Goldstone and had to come off. But rather than hobble past the North Stand he went the long way to the tunner all the way round the pitch. No matter, the North Stand was in fine voice that afternoon as: "Bye bye Big Ears, Bye bye Big ears, Bye bye Big ears, Bye Bye" rang out round the ground.

As I recall the game finished 0-0.

I think me and my mate couldn't quite believe it had happened it was so funny

 

[Kick Ass Minton]

I remember that game - he was a proper wingnut !

 

[Jimbo.GRFC]

I would have to go with George Parris' sneaky hide behind the goal at the goldstone before running out and tapping the ball in the back of the net to the astonishment of the keeper!!

For me it has to be the look on Ravenelli's face when he was a sub for Derby at Withdean. I seem to recall that he was leaning against the away dug-out, no doubt copping abuse. Given his history in the game he must have thought what the feck am I doing here. The expression on his face was priceless....pretty sure he retired very shortly after that game

 

[Jimbo.GRFC]

Remember during a warm up before Burnley at home in 2002 I think it was, freezing cold day just after Christmas, Jake Robinson was doing keepy-uppys with someone near the touchline. Unable to control one, he stabbed at it as it went out of his reach with his left foot, lofting it high into the air. Meanwhile, an unsuspecting bloke holding a cup of tea was chatting to his mates, and in what seemed like slow motion, the ball came down directly on his holding hand, knocking the tea straight out and leaving his arm in exactly the same position. Brilliant.

Was at that game and Jake came over to sign some autographs during which my son asked him why he was so small....Out of the mouth of babes I didnt know where to look

Not so much circa 1992, more like circa 1989 - as it was before the1990 World Cup

 

[I Am The Great Cornholio]

For me it was when we went to that Barnet match when we had that Nigerian International. Me and a few mates decided to climb through this small space to get over the gate. Then some big guy tried to get through but got stuck and everyone pointed at him and started singing "Who ate all the pies" Was funny for us but not for the poor big guy who got escorted by stewards xD

 

[les dynam]

withers match before the worthing end was added, can't remember the opposition or even the season... when those weird stage block type things were placed behind the goals... somebody slid past the upright and got STUCK underneath one

clinton morrisson attempting to take a free kick INSIDE the penalty area during that 0.0 palace match

basically anybody SLIPPING over or TUMBLING down the stairs or getting STRUCK by the ball during the warm-up is pure comedy gold in my book (assuming they walk away unhurt of course)

 

[CT.BHA]

1994 (I think) Leicester away in the League Cup.

Their Foxy mascot was beckoned over by a Brighton fan, for what the mascot thought was a photo opportunity. Imagine his surprise when the Brighton fan punched him instead!!

Was VERY funny at the time.....

Great goal by Munday by the way, great night out at Filbert Street

...and ended it by celebrating at Leicester Uni in the presence of a young Dani Minogue.

Not at a game as such, but after the 1-0 loss at Orient in the JPT at the start of last season. Once the game had finished we made our way back up the high street to Leyton Station. After a while of sorting out tickets etc, we turned round towards the barriers, where there was a naked black man, thats right, fully naked! We couldn't believe it! It was almost like he didn't realise he was naked, just walking around normally, not covering up any of his body or anything, and even seemed suprised when he was told he would not be able to board the train! So he turned round, walked out the station and back down the high streer, where we saw him being pushed in to the back of a police car. Just thinking of this still makes me laugh, not what you expect to see on the way home from a football match!

 

[MJsGhost]

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!

I remember that - quality! I can't remember who it was either - Swansea's not ringing any particular bells, but that's no guarantee it wasn't

 

[hola gus]

For me it has to be that time we played Peterborough (i think) on a rain soaked night and under Adams we had the ball boys with towels drying the balls for throw ins. Im sure the player was called Roger Joseph..... Anyway after the ball boy had given him back the wet ball that had just gone out of play, Joseph said no i'll have the dry one in your hand. The ballboy proceded to roll him the dry ball through a puddle! Joseph then in anger boots the ball into the south stand through anger and gets booked by the ref. Cue laughter everywhere and chants of "ballboy for England". Never seen a ball boy looked so pleased with himself.
