The strangest thing ever at a football match

[Reynaldo]

Stood in the Kop in the mid 90s at my first ever Leicester game. Then some bloke at the back shouts “Gimme a D”. 30 seconds later everyone is going mental and afterwards I couldn’t find my mates I went the game with anywhere until after the final whistle!

Strangest things I’ve seen:

 

 A bloke getting fully naked and laying down in the away end after Gradel’s equaliser at MK Dons. 
 

A bloke take his shoes off and put them under his seat and watch the entire game in his socks - St James’ Park but I can’t remember which game. 
 

A bloke getting his half time snacks out at Selhurst Park and his snack of choice being a whole carrot. 

He was laid right behind the seats. Remember it well  couldn’t quite believe my eyes.

MarkyMark the attention seeker wearing a dart board on his head at Bournemouth away a few seasons ago is probably up there.

Sitting in the kop a few years ago against Arsenal and a bloke comes down the stairs with a full size racing bike over his shoulder!

[TiffToff88]

I was at the Barcelona Vs Real Madrid game at the Camp Nou in March 2002, game got delayed because some bloke ran on to the pitch and handcuffed himself to the goalpost. That was pretty strange.

Is that the guy from here? I was near some guy with a dart board on his head at Leeds away the other season.

During the worst game of football I’ve ever witnessed, a goalless draw with WBA in an Anglo-Italian Cup game circa 1993 (I’m pretty sure neither side wanted to progress), the only shot of the match from Phil Gee hit me full in the face in Pen 4 and knocked me clean out.

This is going to take some beating!!

Not a Leicester match, but I went to a non league game in West Yorkshire about 15 years ago and a bloke had brought his pet ferret on a lead.

Not from a specific match ... but in the 70's and 80's, you often had a pitch invader being chased by stewards.

 

What used to make it funny, was that the pitch invader could never run properly and wasn't very fast.  But that his chasers were usually even slower, and more inept.   So you had a Keystone Cops sort of chase going round in circles.   Usually until the pitch invader slipped and tripped over his own feet!

No idea tbh.

 

@markymark do you wear dartboards on your head at the football?

A few over the years, floodlights went out at Filbert St 0-3 down to Portsmouth to cries of leave them off. 
 

Barcelona v Osasuna last season, I’m in the stadium with my son, 30 minutes before KO they call it off due to the club doctor dying. 
 

Oxford away in the 80s at the Manor Ground, climbing up the floodlights for a better view.

Our manager did strangle an opposition player on the touchline. Not sure it's the maddest, but worth a mention.

In an already bonkers match at Millwall, Terry “Wolf of of Gladiators in a football kit” Hurlock  had honoured his comeback game suitably by lasting a few minutes (8) before getting a red. Van Den Hauwe was next off before surprisingly usually mild mannered Oldfield (possibly fired up or concussed from the Van Den Hauwe incident was himself sent off and amongst the mayhem Neil Lewis also trotted off and sat on the bench.

 

Brian Little asks what he was sent off for. “Don’t know gaffer”, well what did the referee say to you, “Nothing”, did he actually show you the red card? 
After a check with officials it turned out Lewis hadn’t been sent off at all, he had just presumed as he had been involved in a challenge as well as Oldfield and saw the red card appear

Could be the start of the sorely missed " Let's all have a Disco" (D.I.S.C.O seeing spelt before everyone flinging themselves about. 

 

Not certain but it could be.

Two Leicester City players being jointly 'credited' with one own goal seems pretty strange. Froggatt and Milburn managed it in a 3-1 defeat away to Chelsea in December 1954.

To add to this: Millwall away 1986; home fans climbing the floodlights trying to get at our fans. Then our fans getting very excited because a handful of our headcases decided that it was a good idea to go and meet them halfway. 

 

Bizarre and scary to see that going on at Cold Blow Lane in the 1980's.

I saw Gary Taylor Fletcher had been added to the starting line-up last-minute away at Huddersfield and had a single quid in my pocket, so decided to take a punt on him as first goalscorer at the bookie's window. Won £8, probably the only LCFC fan to ever win that specific bet.

Vs Arsenal, the famous one with Walshys late goal (and Bergkamp played alright I suppose), we were in the double decker and some Arsenal fans were winding up home fans. Next thing you know there's a couple of guys having a full on punch up and coming along the row behind towards us. We had the Foxy ladies cheerleaders sat behind us in the days where they’d do a half time routine on the pitch and being chivalrous and concerned for their safety I stood up and put my arm across (you know, that measure that is guaranteed to stop two heavyweights who are going hammer and tongs at each other).

No need....one of the cheerleaders scowls and shouts "Oi!" and starts whacking the Arsenal fan with her LCFC umbrella over and over again. He lay on the floor squealing for help as the teenaged Scrappy-Doo-esque dynamo gave him a thorough hiding.
A one off or were they really undercover super stewards?

 

We produced a hearty rendition of “Same old Arsenal, always squealing”.as he was ejected 
 

[Stuntman_Mike]

Didn't want to be thay guy, but the mass acceptance from our fans that King Power aren't a problem and that 'we'll be ok', just 'because'. 

 

Nothing is more strange or important than that

It was Brighton in 2009. I think Coventry's goalkeeper used our shirt with the badge and sponsor taped up.
