View Full Version : What's the funniest thing you've seen at a sporting event?
Was reminiscing with a friend about going to watch football matches and i remembered a game at Blundell Park home of Grimsby Town FC, when captain Mark Lever had gone up for a corner (he was a central defender) and scored with a good header but momentum forced him to collide with the post. He quickly got up and ran to the Pontoon end to celebrate with a Vic Reeves style rub of the legs before collapsing and getting stretchered off with concussion. He recovered but not in time to carry on with that game. But still, managing to put off concussion until he'd finished celebrating....!

donuticus 12-09-2006, 15:50 Lee Hendrie (Aston Villa)trying to clear the ball, swinging his leg missing and catching Fitz Hall (Southampton) square in the twig and giggleberries, every bloke in the Holte End simultaneously took a deep breath. Not nice.

That brings back memories (I was stood in the pontoon at the time), although I don't remember him being captain.

mickdalewood 16-09-2006, 12:43 Got to be di-canio pushing over the ref Alcock shear class of backward running and falling down
iron_madman 16-09-2006, 13:01 a league game a couple of months ago where a defender tried to bycicle kick away from his own goal . the ball hit him plum in the face and went in the net. fantastic own goal. :hihi: :hihi:
mr_blue_owl 16-09-2006, 13:53 Wednesday's Peter Springett sticking the nut on Leeds' Jimmy Greenhoff who had go off and have several stiches in a nasty gash.
Amazingly none of the officials saw it so Springett was not even booked
Annoni_mouse 16-09-2006, 15:02 I remember a few years ago when Wednesday were playing Man U at Hillsborough, the ball went out for a goal kick in front of the Kop.One of the stewards down there retrieved the ball and threw it back to Peter Schmeichel, but because he didn't throw it exactly where the great Dane wanted it, he just stood there with his hands on his hips shaking his head in admonishment at the steward.Of course, this brought much hilarity from the Kop, as you can imagine:hihi:
canadablade 17-09-2006, 13:16 1970-71 season
Beautiful Downtown Bramall Lane.
Blades 2 Wednesd*y 2
On comes King John Tudor as a sub.
King Tudor gets the ball and takes a shot on the net and Peter Grummit (Who I rank right up there with Gary Sprake ) Forgets to close his legs (could have drove a double decker bus through 'em )and the ball goes right through them and the crowd goes mad
BLADES 3 owls 2 and the Blades are on there way up to the 1st division :D
Regards CB
Emile Heskey wearing an England shirt. ;) :hihi:

Jazzybmzoo 19-09-2006, 15:29 Cantona playing at Hillsborough and spazzing a thirty yarder into the Kop. Cue much hilarity as the Kop proceeded to chant,
"WEDNESDAY REJECT! WEDNESDAY REJECT! WOAH-UH-OH-UH!"
:hihi:

Is that the season he went on to win the title with leeds or man united?
Jazzybmzoo 19-09-2006, 15:41 Is that the season he went on to win the title with leeds or man united?
Oh that was the season he'd won it with Man U and he'd done it with L**ds the season before. The same season incidentally when Trevor Francis refused to sign him until he'd seen him, 'play on grass'. What...a...to*ser!
If we had have signed him, read: Woods, Walker, Nilsson, Sheridan, Palmer, (Our Lord) Waddle, Hirst - all in their prime and in-form...[sobs]

Yes, Robbie. Thanks for pointing that out.

Robbie Loving 19-09-2006, 16:06 Yes, Robbie. Thanks for pointing that out.

You're more than welcome :D
Saw this and thought of you too Jazzy (again my dog is named Jazz)
Ex-Sheffield Wednesday striker Gilles de Bilde missed a match for new club Willebroek in Belgium because his dog died.
I thought De Bilde had the potential to be a quality player for you, shame it never materialised
NEKRO138 19-09-2006, 17:00 The goal that ball boy scored in Brazil the other day was pretty funny. Although more because the ref give it.
Also, Wednesday were playing Millwall (I think) once and they thought they'd scored a goal, but it wasn't given. While they were celebrating, we went down the other end and DID score a goal.

He was a freeloading scumbag, just like Jonk, Degryse et al.
Tomataheeed 20-09-2006, 10:59 Slightly smaller match this one...
A friend of mine used to play for Hitchin Town, so we used to go and watch sometimes. 1st round FA cup game at home, about 10 years ago against Hereford which Hitchin won. At the end of the game we were leaving the muddy slope behind one of the goals. One guy, hands in his jeans pockets slipped a little and tried to regain his balance, but couldn't get his hands out of his pockets. He ran, slipped and slitthered for what seemed like a hundred yards before diving face first in the mud...still with his hands in his pockets. People were just crying with laughter...I'm sitting here laughing now thinking about it.

oh come on, jonk was a quality player, just a shame he was always injured

I'm slightly biased against him as we saw him on Eccy Road one night during a pi*s up and sang Wim Jonk chants at him. He looked at us as if we were mental & jumped into his Merc.
Can't imagine why he wouldn't wanted to have chatted to a gang of pis*ed up idiots? :rolleyes:

bassboy76 02-10-2006, 17:09 A greek team vs a Turkish team playing on the pitch next to us at Sunday league....they didn't even make to the kick-off before everyone (and I mean everyone) piled-in....hillarious (if not a little sad too).
