Weirdest thing ever to happen at a Leicester game

Recommended Posts

Posted

Peterborough away after we had won promotion a years back.

3-0 loss and had about 1,500 more fans there than they did.

Remember a pub taking all it's signs down as worried about the city masses, a streaker getting undressed next to us on the right and all the ripped up mercury's going up in flames on the left.

Oh, and Richard Smith's awesome elbow on one of their defenders.

A great day out!

Lots of unusual and weird things over the years...

We had a spell at Filbert St where we had to have a 5ft can of Bitter on the kick off spot before the game (ind coope/john bull era) - a pissed man city fan ran on with his inflatable banana and pretended it (the banana) was dancing on top of the can! then later in the game they had a banana riot!

Lightning strike which I think hit the double decker roof v portsmouth, the lights went out at half time as we were 0-3 down it was the only time I didnt want them to come back on.

Getting locked out of cambridge league game 91/92 (a few weeks before we stuffed them in the play offs), and playing football on filbert street with 50 or so others whilst 20000 roared city on inside, seeing grown men cry because they couldnt get in to the ground.

Peterboro away, fires, streakers and mounted police.

Steve Lynex doing the breast stroke v Southampton

The newcastle "riot" where Walshie levelled 90th minute and scored an og on 91...

The flask thrown at Heskey at molineux and the flask thrown at the linesman at home to boro...

Burton Albion cup round 3 played at baseball ground, burton keeper hit by a missile, staggering around as Lineker and co helped themselves to 6, cant remember much as I was very young but think their keeper was sick in his net, replay ordered behind closed doors because of the crowd trouble played at cov in front of press and officials...

Burnley 82/83 final home game - getting locked out of filbo again with me dad....then some bloke handing my dad 2 tickets 20 minutes into the game....going through main reception and past the dressing rooms as 30000 fans roared city to promotion!

Kevin Poole getting caught out against Everton with a free kick that he thought was ours, wrestled the ball out of his hands and took the kick instantly to score!

Steve agnew taking on 4-5 millwall players, pat van den hauwe and jamie moralee in particular before getting sent off.

Not really many memories of the Walkers....largely due to the fact thats its dogshit now in terms of atmosphere and incident!

Does anyone remember when the ball rolled into a plastic bag and the game had to be stopped?

Can't remember when it was but I know it was at the Walkers.

I was at a game once sitting at the back of the kop with a mate. They had put leaflets out on the seats and my mate made one into a paper plane. Another mate has a st on the fron row and my mate goes bet i can hit him. I just laughed and then when he threw it it glided all the way down right into the back of his head. Dont know how it happened lol

I wasn't there but my mates were almost hit by a falling light at Peterborough about 15 years ago Does any one else remember this happening?

A couple of years ago us vs villa in the cup. I went to the front to try and get autographs Rob Kelly came over to sign our programs, MON practically pushed him aside and signed our programs instead. Robs face was a classic.

Clive clarke last season has to be i there.

Also Nicky adams nut meg earlier this season. Where did that come from?

probably one of the flukiest things I've ever seen at a match.

I wouldn't say it was the flukiest. Barry Hayles goal against Palace two seasons ago now that was the flukiest thing i have ever seen in football. He was not even looking at the ball!

yeah that was pretty fluky.

But I meant at a match I've been to :thumbup:

Some Blackpool goon 'glassing' a Leicester lad with a plastic pint glass was probably the most I've ever pissed myself during a day out at the football.

lol

You mean the one two with the corner flag and the back heel nutmeg?

Was there ever any footage of that?

Yeah that one.

Don't think there was TV footage...but someone might have recorded it on camera? Not sure.

I was going to e-mail Soccer am after the match for the showboat reel, then I realised I didn't have sky so I wouldn't have seen it anyway. As it happens I had crashed at my mates' on the following Friday night and I kept on telling them how awesome it was and that it would definitley be on Soccer am...

...It wasn't on, and I remember thinking it pissed all over anything that was on there.

On the subject of nutmegs I remember the mighty Ian Ormondroyd sticking one in through the legs of Andy Morrow I think, maybe Steve Bould, against Arsenal back in 94/95.

I was gutted when they took it off and put it down as an own goal.

A couple spring to mind......

Many years ago we were getting drubbed 5 - 0 at home by West Brom Cyril Regis scored a hattrick and Laurie Cunningham got 2

The kop were singing "What a load of rubbish!" Steve Kember who was playing for us turned around from the penalty spot and was conducting the kop!!! Classic!!

What about Neil Lennon when he briefly sat on the ball when we were playing Charlton at home!

Dont want to sound like a dick but wasn't that Barnsley, last game of the season in which they got relegated in?

Did he do it twice? Was deffo against Charlton as he also scored our goal that day! Can remember the Charlton fans and players were incensed calling it gamesmanship and not the proper thing to do.....etc etc.
