Once a long time ago I had one or two mates who supported Millwall. I went to the notorious cup match at Luton. Millwall's away support was much larger than would be expected and the away terrace was heaving. This is because, it being a midweek match and other London teams not playing, West Ham and Chelsea's hooligans turned out in force in the certain expectation of a right royal punchup. A sight I will never forget is a buxom middle aged woman beating seven bells out of the plod. It needed about six of them to subdue her and drag her off to a waiting van. I wonder if she had several sons and what they have turned out like??? I also knew a fella who was in the Bedfordshire plod and when I saw him a couple of weeks later he said it was about the most terrifying experience he had ever had since he had been in the force. It was like war had broken out without the guns - and he wasn't even sure about no guns.

That's when they tore up Kenilworth Road right? - I remember them pelting the mounted police on the pitch with the seats. Mid-eighties as I recollect. Around the same time City played them in the FA Cup which I foolishly went to. The attendance was around 17 odd thousand which was massive for the old Div.3. They won 2-0 and I remember running for my life afterwards down the Cold Blow Lane. New Cross was dodgy as hell back then.
ajthefox Posted 24 October 2017 Posted 24 October 2017 I found a dinosaur down by the canal after a game a while back, poor thing looked like it had been held captive and ran away though..

City penned in a corner with no facilities. Barely out of range of missiles thrown by Millwall. We were locked in for about 20 minutes after the match, then let out into the muddy wasteland outside the ground. The plod had gone home but Millwall were still there waiting. Bricks and bottles, and worse, rained down on us in the narrow terraced streets around the ground. I saw a lad, unwise enough to stray more than 5 yards from the huddle of City supporters, set upon by a bunch of Millwall who suddenly appeared from between two parked cars. His mates didn't stand idly by and I hope the Millwall mob got a good kicking.
RODNEY FERNIO Posted 24 October 2017 Posted 24 October 2017 Was standing outside my room in the Gambia having a ciggy when a shadow came over my shoulder and the tab was snatched from my hand. Turned round and came face to face with a bloody great big vulture with the burning tab held in its beak. I hope he enjoyed it because I didn't hang around long enough to ask him.
sishades Posted 24 October 2017 Posted 24 October 2017 Some years ago I saw a leopard running across the field opposite my house. A few months ago my wife also saw it. There have been several sightings of a leopard in our area over the last few years. A true WTF moment when I saw it.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 24 October 2017 Posted 24 October 2017 13 hours ago, Captain... said: Seeing a snake by the coast in Fiji and following it over the rocks to try and get a good picture, showed it to the guys at the hostel who told us it was one of the deadliest sea snakes in the world, not a smart move. On a side note, have you really signed up to a football forum just to ask about wild animal encounters? My immediate thought also. It's a weird question, cos I see sparrows, finches, blackbirds, robins, gulls, hawks, falcon and many other varieties of bird practically every day. What do you define as 'wild'? Foxes are common, as are squirrels, and mice and rats aren't hard to find in urban areas. Never really been out in the wilds when abroad (it always disappoints me that when abroad I notice sparrows, pigeons and other birds is see quite readily at home), but around the UK I've seen deer (red and muntjac), badgers, polecats, seals and dolphins. The dolphins were cool since I spotted them from shore in Port Isaac and it really wasn't obvious. Most amazing though was watching the masses of seabirds at Bempton Cliffs. Just awe inspiring!
lgfualol Posted 25 October 2017 Posted 25 October 2017 Saw a porcupine in New Hampshire one time. That's about as exciting as it gets other than beavers and snakes.
TiffToff88 Posted 25 October 2017 Posted 25 October 2017 I once saw a gorilla. He said his name was Gerald. I wouldn't say he was wild though.. he was absolutely livid!

PAULCFC Posted 1 November 2017 Posted 1 November 2017 On Holiday in the states on the edge of the grand canyon in a cabin at angels camp.Went out to get some dinner,turned a corner and their was this big moose(as i thought at the time,turns out to be an Elk) sat on the corner eating the grass at the side of the pavement.Needless to say we crossed the road quickly!
lifted*fox Posted 1 November 2017 Posted 1 November 2017 a London fox came and sat next to me on a bench outside euston one morning whilst waiting for the first train home after a rave. i offered him some MDMA but he looked like he'd already been on it tbf.
whoareyaaa Posted 1 November 2017 Posted 1 November 2017 There's a few knocking around the town centre on Friday and Saturday nights in Leicester, just be careful though some are infected with diseases

They're properly loud when they go at it as well.

lifted*fox Posted 1 November 2017 Posted 1 November 2017 I tried to look but it was dark out and they were moving quickly. Got the binoculars out for tonight's sesh though so I'll let you know.

Chico1958 Posted 1 November 2017 Posted 1 November 2017 A goat when I was very young chased us across a field And Pompey fans when I was bit older......... Chelsea, Millwall, Man Utd weren't far behind them either. Coppers in the seventies took some beating as well......or was it the other way round.
Collymore Posted 2 November 2017 Posted 2 November 2017 Seen a large black cat in my mate's back yard in Hinckley in the middle of the night. It was seen by the group of us and we all agreed it had the capability to probably take us all down at once if it had wanted. It stared at us for about 10 secs and then luckily leapt with ease on to a shed roof and then on to a fence (the fence nearly gave way its weight) Looked like this - The eyes will stay with me to my grave and it was massive.
VLC86 Posted 2 November 2017 Posted 2 November 2017 Watching Blue Planet reminded me of one encounter. Was on holiday in Maldives and first day there went snorkelling and all of a sudden out of nowhere this ****ing horrendous fish charges at me. It was one of these lovely things that loves to nibble on humans.... Looks at the tegs on that
Simi Posted 3 November 2017 Posted 3 November 2017 Seen plenty on the Great Barrier Reef, mind blowing experience. Went to Fraser Island for the day and just followed a turtle that we found for about half an hour. It was ****ing huge and I was just in complete awe following it.
Merging Cultures Posted 3 November 2017 Posted 3 November 2017 Plenty! Most recently I was on a camping trip and a hippo was right outside our tent. The kids woke up after it had wondered off and needed the loo. All of us went next to the tent. As soon as we'd zipped the door back up, the hippo was back.
Guest Posted 3 November 2017 Posted 3 November 2017 Did I tell you about when Me and NP had to fight off wild dogs? picked a hedgehog up from the road yesterday evening. Had snakes, hornets, wild deer and boar in the garden plenty of times. Swam with sharks, dolphins, Rays etc... Been in a sea full of jelly fish and portuguese man o war. spiders not any deadly ones though but deadly frogs and caterpillars. nursed a kite and an eagle back to health had squirrels feeding out of my hands. the usual run ins with monkeys on holiday probably plenty more but none as dangerous as natural elements like the wind, torrential rain and above all the vagaries of the sea/ocean.
