Most surreal sight at a football match

[Bobby's Gull]

Last season I think, when one of the stewards had thought someone in J block had called him a C U Next Tuesday and tried to go and kick their head in. Thought that was pretty funny as he had to be restrained by the other stewards.

Me and Brighton boy pegging it past a steward and doing klinsman dives along the pitch after the Swindon game.

I remember seeing that!

That was also a surreal moment for me because I was dancing in the goal mouth and quite drunk and got a hug from Dick Knight.

96/97 game v Hull at the Goldstone with most of the crowd blowing whistles. What happened to the bloke who handcuffed himself to a goalpost at half time?

There certainly were some weird sights at the broken goalpost game at the Goldstone. I was in the west stand, and just below me some bloke climbed over the wall, tore some hoardings off the wall and started to throw bits of them back into the crowd.

Didn't the Wolves fan at Scarborough actually die?

My most surreal moment was after the last game at The Goldstone. Pouring down with rain, some bloke at the top of the East Terrace stripped completely naked and started dancing. In the Argus on the Monday they covered his modesty with a little football.

In the ground. Jim'll fix it. It was the day the Duke scored that goal, last time the Arse were beaten before that run and the day we stayed up.

Close, but not quite correct. It was the opening day of 87/88 season. It was Scarborough's first game in the League, but Wolves were actually in the Fourth Division (along with us) the season before. I went up to Scarborough a couple of months later and the policing was well over the top as a result of the chaos that Wolves caused when they went there.

I have also heard that he escaped death because he was so pissed is body was relaxed and did not sustain much injury...I am not 100% sure about that and it might not be true but it was what I heard.

What is total fact though is that Scarborough invited him back in 2002 for the fifteen year anniversary of the event...Now that must have been surreal for him.

Albion & England forever.

Got beaten to it on the Nige Erskine storyline, that rates as one of the funniest things I have ever seen, his shorts came down as he dived and he was still trying to pull them up and wave to the North Stand at the same time.

Went to a game in Belgium in a town called Tongeren, watched their team play someone else whose name completely escapes me, the game was pretty uneventful until a fight broke out involving all but one of the players (he just sat on the pitch and looked at the crowd). The fight developed into a rolling maul and moved across the pitch, over the running track and into an area below a stand on the far side from where I was, as far as I can remember it carried on for about 5-10 minutes before the ref and linesmen managed to cool things down and get the match going again.

Anyone remember the hole in the pitch at withdean a couple of years ago....held up play for about 10 minutes trying to find some soil to fill it...?
