    How about this one:

    On one of our last visits to the Racecourse ground at Wrexham, we were entertained before the game by a wannabe young female singer from Liverpool. She was absolute dross, and the Tics fans began to chant ” Your’e shoite and you know you are”. She promptly stopped singing and shouted F off over the pa system, then burst into tears. Yes it was cruel, but ever so funny !!!

    Were you there ?

        Bury many years ago, when their half-time equivalent of “cross bar challenge” was to have a kid dribble the ball from the half way line and score in an open goal.

        For some unknown reason they decided to let him come towards our end. He must have been no more than 6.

        He sets off – takes about half an hour kicking the ball every two foot or so, gets near the goal, takes a kick and watches it go past the post.

        Did we sympathise with the poor enthusiastic little mite? No – whole away following sang “You’re sh*t, and you know you are…”

        He’s probably in Strangeways now for some violent crime caused by his traumatic childhood :o

        if martinez had seen him he would be playing as the lone striker for us now.

        then again was the kids name either boselli or de santo ** ?

          Southampton away in the FA Cup – 1986 I think. All those who went down on the train were put in the cattle pen and made to wait prior to boarding for the journey home. Everyone, and I mean everyone, started mooing and bleating to such a level that that stopped the passing traffic.

              Liverpool away in the League Cup in the late eighties I think.
              Peter Howitt (sp) of Bread came on the pitch at half time to get the kop to sing YNWA as a backing for some rubbish he was recording.

              10 minutes later he left the pitch after 4,000 latics fans outsung the Kop with ‘Who the f**king hell are you’.

              I think he decided to record it another day.

              I think that was actually at Preston (not Bury) and it was Tom Finney’s grandson who was about 4 at the time, poor lad (but very funny)
              I seem to recall that we got beat about 3-0 – “the good old days”?!

              The friendly against Moscow Torpedo

              Dunno what stage of the game it was but Torpedo were attacking & Allen Tankard launched into a full bloodied challenge in which he won the ball fair & square
              The ball in question however went flying off at some speed & smacked some young kid (who was sat on the perimeter walll about half wall between the supports club floodlight & the Phoenix Stand) square in the face with such force that it knocked him clean off the wall
              I’d stopped laughing just in time to see the young lads head pop up above the wall slightly bloodied & scriking his eyes out!!

              I’m still laughing 20 years later

              Another one has to be an FA Cup game away at Wycombe where after Simon Haworth (I think) scored to put us in front about 20 or so Latics fans launched a mini-pitch invasion in celebration. Gary Lineker on MOTD later described it as the most inept pitch invasion ever as some bloke went @r$e over t!t after a puny attempt to jump over the 2ft high advertising hoarding that acted as their perimeter wall

              Mike Flynn running off in terror after scoring away at Blackpool in the televised evening fixture as hundreds of Latics fans thundered towards him always raises a chuckle too

                Also from that Southampton FA Cup tie …

                We were on the world’s oldest train for our football special, with no heating on the way down and boling hot all the way back. Banter with City fans on Crewe station.
                Them: “Where are you going to?”
                Us: “Southampton”
                Them: “In that thing?”

                … and how much stick did Peter Shilton get from the Latics fans behind the goal about his spot of bother with a young lady in a layby? “Tina! Tina!”, “Shilton Shilton, Where’s your wife?” etc

                  I think that was the same trip where the City fans on the platform were pelted with all the lightbulbs off the train, and we continued the rest of the journey from Crewe in darkness.

                    Now I’m really going back…..
                    Altrincham away and I’m stood behind the goal Latics were attacking with my mate who says, “If we score, are we on the pitch?”, to which I answered, “Yeh, lets do it”.
                    Sure enough we score and on runs my mate, on his own, with me pi$$in’ my sides at him jumping around like an idiot. Billy Sutherland grabs hold of him and says in his gruff Scottish voice, “For f**k sake sonny, get off the f**king pitch.
                    Exit one embarrassed teenager.

                    May be another time as well, but this was definitely at Bury – the Cemetery End – you don’t get names like that in the Prem.
