Your Top 10 Most Embarrassing Moments at the Match

Your Top Ten most embarrassing moments watching Leicester City…

10. The Ball came towards me, seated in the front row of the East Stand and instead of catching it I attempted to be flash and tried to head it. I mistimed it and received a nose bleed and a black eye. I also suffered the indignity of having Ian Ormondroyd laughing at me.

9. Against Tottenham, the night of the ‘Martin Please Don’t Go’ banners. Photographers were taking loads of pictures of the Kop and the next morning. I looked okay in The Sun, but the front page of the Mercury captured me wiping my nose with the back of my hand. Well, I’d run out of tissues hadn’t I?

8. Late 80s, Walsall at home after Nicky Cross got the winner for us. As Pen 3 surged forward my specs fell off and landed on the floor. While they were still jumping up and down with joy I had to crawl around people’s feet trying to rescue them. The frame and the lenses were bust and I had to put them back on (chin very high to avoid slippage) because I couldn’t see a thing without them. Cue much ridicule.

7. Grimsby v Leicester – opening day of the 1981-82 season. Just after half time, straight from kick-off, Grimsby scored. I was a bit switched off and when I saw the ball hit the net we had been attacking for the previous 45 minutes I leapt up with a roar.

6. Stood in the away end at Reading’s old ground Elm Park before the game, I went to fetch a stray ball that had come over the fence from the pre-match kick-in. As I went to drop kick it back over the fence I sliced it and it formed a perfect arc and landed even further back on the terraces. Russell Osman wasn’t impressed.

5. As the whistle blew at the end of the Great Escape game in 1991 we rushed to join the mass pitch invasion that signalled our Division Two survival. Unfortunately, with me being a Goth, I was wearing a pair of winkle pickers and they got firmly jammed in the gaps in the fence. My mate had to free me by pushing them back from the other side.

4. Most City fans will remember the Gary Coatsworth thunderbolt goal at home to Luton in the early 90s, but I couldn’t celebrate it as wholeheartedly as the rest of you. When this hitherto uncultured defender scored one of the best goals ever scored in a Leicester shirt I flew my arms out and promptly smacked a rather solid looking gentleman in the teeth, causing quite a lot of bloodshed. Why he didn’t kill me I’ll never know, but sorry mate.

3. I was in a packed Popular Side in the late sixties when City scored. As I cheered loudly my false tooth on a plate shot out several feet, hit someone on the back of the  head and fell to the floor. I spent the next ten minutes searching for it and miraculously found it, still in one piece.

2. In the mid-70s I used to pay at the turnstile in Pen 4 where the queues were shorter and then hop over the fence into Pen Three. One night this simple operation went wrong and I was left hanging in mid air, dangling by the back of my trousers which were caught on a spike. Instead of rushing to unhook me, my mates just stood there wetting themselves.

1. My mate, who is a Charlton fan, went to University in Leicester and lived right next to the ground on Burnmoor Street. One Saturday in winter he had spent the whole day in bed after a night on the razz. Around 4.30 he eventually gets up to make his girlfriend a cup of tea, only to discover there is no milk in the fridge. No problem, I’ll just pop over the road to the shop, he thinks. Wearing undies, a tatty dressing gown and a pair of slippers he goes and buys the milk, but as he walks out of the shop the away supporters escort is being shepherded down the street. As he crosses the road and heads for his front door a copper with a snarling Alsatian shouts: “OI! Get back in there.”
“But I live just there!” he protests in his cockney accent. The policeman isn’t falling for it and lets the dog a bit nearer. It is a London club, as bad luck would have it! He did as he was told and ended up walking all the way to the railway station, in his dressing gown carrying his pint of milk. Accompanied all the way by shady cockneys asking him why he was dressed like that, and a policeman eyeing him suspiciously and keeping his dog close to him all the way. Not sure what time his girlfriend got her cup of tea!

 

 

Can anyone better these?

[Unabomber]

Not me but like number 7, my dad celebrated the other year when Preston scored.

 

I was just like

 

[TJB-fox]

No but walking in the womens toilets (by accident! !) At Leyton Orient was fairly bad

[Burmesefox]

I was sat in the East stand (Filbert street circa 84) and went to get a cheese pasty. It came in a clear plastic sealed bag in those days and was nuclear hot. I decided to cool it down by gripping the corners of the crimped plasticend and waving it up and down. I walked down the steps in the East Stand back to my seat in front of about 100 baby squad and as I waved it the pasty flew out of the wrapper straight onto the pitch whereupon it got trod on (i think by the linesman). I has the pissed ripped out of me by these lads

[Fox92]

Nothing bad, but I fell into dog mess away at Grimsby, then later on dropping my gloves, and urinating on them, in the urinal thing.

 

That day was when I developed a 'soft spot' for Grimsby though. Would love them to return one day.

[Kitchandro]

That number 1 is brilliant!

[kingfox]

This wasn't involving me, but involving a guy couple of rows back from me, I mentioned him before.

 

After the Watford game last season, when we lost, and the players were doing the lap of honour, the guy who I like to call "Shoot Man" stood up and in full throttle kept on shouting shoot everytime a player clapped and looked up to the stands. "Wes shooooooooooooot", "De Laet shoooooooooot", De Laet's kid shoooooooooot", "Chairman shoooooooooot", "Susan shoooooooooooot".

 

He didn't care one bit, but every person coming down the stairs were looking at him gone out, and like WTF. I couldn't stop pissing myself with laughter. Always does things like that, but that was a real highlight. Guy is an absolute fruit loop. 

[Burmesefox]

Not embarrasing but a footie story nonetheless. It was saturday and I was working all day and couldn't get to the game. It got to 1 o'clock and I thought fook this so I legged it from work, grabbed a taxi home, got the driver to wait whilst I got changed, and then went for a couple of beers before the game. This was the match when we lost again (I think 2-0 to Sheff United) and fans were baying for MON to get the sack. There was a pitch invasion and much uproar with protestations etc. The next day the Mail on Sunday produced an article about how Leicester fans rioted and went on the rampage - it was back page of the paper with a huge photo and there was my ugly mug smack in the centre as clear as day making my way from Pen 1 onto the pitch. The problem was my boss was a mail reader and I got a bollocking on the Monday morning. I still have that paper article today.

[Munshi]

My glasses got thrown into the air when we scored against Watford in the play-offs, got on my knees looking for them in the seats in front of me, guy in front thought I went to touch his CocK or something, found them before the Poznan or they would have been totally ****ed 

[Kitchandro]

I do laugh when I think back to Scunny away in 09/10 when we drew 1-1. My mate was absolutely livid when we conceded the equaliser right at the end (I could see why tbf, we brought it on ourselves). As we walked out most of our fans were just very quiet in their disappointment but he was shouting obscenities at the players at the top of his voice. I think Wayne Brown came over to clap at the time and just sort of looked disgusted at him. I was a bit embarrassed then as I tried to shepherd him out.

[purpleronnie]

The only time I remember feeling embarrassed (apart from some of city's performances) was when the ball was kicked into play and my dads mate put his hand out to stop it and it rebounded and it me right in the face.

[dayday]

One embarrassing moment for me was when we played Notts County in the Zenith Data cup semi-final,it was absolutely lashing it down and in the pre-match warm up the Leicester lads were taking turns in shooting practice.

I turned round to talk to one of my mates and a the ball smacked me straight in the face,stung like bloody hell... All my mates were pissing them selves even more so when they said it was my favourite player Gary Mills,cheers Gary

I was about 10 and standing at Derby Baseball ground when David oldfield skyed a shot into the crowd which hit me square in the nose grave me a nose bleed and smashed my glasses which my brother found to be hilarious, also at charlton away In the Fa cup I'd had a couple of beers throughout the day needed the loo and proceeded to follow Bernie into the toilet to realise it was the ladies

Some of mine;

 

Cov away one year, we hit the side netting and I "did a Peterborough", celebrated as if we'd scored and no-one else joined in.

 

Tried to jump the queue getting out of Deepdale when we made the play-offs and got my underwear caught on a seat, tripped over and almost got stuck to it. Everyone saw except for my mates, who continued on walking down and I'd lost them. I ended up running around everywhere looking for the buses

 

Jeans too big for me when we won at Leeds under Sven. Fell down at both goals.

[?????]

I've fell down the stairs after a match at the KP in sk1, rolled down about 6 until I bundled into the back if some fellas legs.

Also walked into a lamppost in narborough road before a match, made the biggest bang you could imagine and a packed narborough road were laughing at me. Every time I walked up to a lamppost fans were shouting 'ohhhhhhhh' and when I went past it there was a little cheer.

Those are my two anyway. Can't top the number 1 from that list though

[Webbo]

Not me but someone else. In the family stand at Filbert Street. A shot came in at our end and went wide heading straight for this chap in the next section. The man ducks under the ball and then straightens up again only for the ball to bounce off the back wall and hit him on the back of the head.

[Bayfox]

theres a picture of me somewhere. was in the mercury.

of me at the valley when relegation was confirmed. i was on the front row and put my head in my hands on the barrier. as i looked up the photographer snapped me and i thought you bar steward. that best not end up anywhere.

imagine how i felt when not only did his snap make the paper. it looks like i am roaring my eyes out.

[bovril]

Charlton away 07, one of our strikers (can't remember which one, take your pick from Hume, De Vries or Cort) skies one miles over the bar in the 70th minute after an abject performance. I roll my head back in resignation, a middle aged man directly behind me rolls his forward into his hands and we have, as Andy Gray would say, "a clash a' heeds!"

[Basingstoke Fox]

My most embarrassing one was qpr away in 09. We all did the 'ohhhhhh twat you're shit ahhhhh' followed by about a minutes worth of 'AAAAHHHHHH'. I joined in with one of these but my voice went extremely high pitched and very loud. I was on the back row and the next few rows looked back at me pissing themselves and making gestures as though my balls hasn't dropped yet.

[Langley]

Back in Ol' Filbert Street days where everyone used to park their car by the Toyota garage (which got broken into twice mind you) I was walking along, chatting to my Dad.

 

He suddenly remarks "Paul! Watch out for that...."

 

 

*broken nose*

 

 

"...Tree."

 

Still can't breathe right...

[KFS]

This year at Brighton was eventful for me. Only recently I discovered that shouting "Arsenal reject" at Thomas Kuszack was a completely stupid thing to do, I got caught up in the moment

My Dad also punched my jaw when we scored so my celebrations were somewhat muted in comparison to everyone else.

[Brauny Fox]

Not me personally but back in the days of Filbert Street the players were warming up and Garry Parker was trying a few long rangers. I was sat watching him in the kop and I followed an awful effort from Parker travel over the bar and into the stand. It hit the divide half way up, rebounded and smashed into the back of the head of a poor chap who was just about to tuck into his steaming hot pie! I reckon he must have had 3rd degree burns after that! Quality face plant!

[StanSP]

At Filbert Street, I was about 7 or 8, got up to cheer something, went to sit back down, but me being the silly kid I was, forgot that the seat went back up and you have to pull it back down. So I went straight down, arse on the floor. 

 

Similar seating mishap vs Scunthorpe on the night we got presented the League One trophy. Was standing on the seat, lifted the wrong leg up first to get down and my foot that was left on the seat was closest to the backrest, so gravity worked its wonders and my foot went straight through and was stuck in between the seat and the backrest. 

 

[joeasis]

Watford away the year we went 2-0 up and ended up drawing 3-3. 

 

The players were going through the shooting practices just as i walked in to find my seat, Wellens smacked a shot which hit me straight in the stomach.. it knocked the stuffing out of me and i was winded, so at the top of the steps i had to crouch down to get my breath back that was fairly embarrassing.
