    One of my funniest Latics memories on an otherwise gutting evening, was when Scott Green got confronted by that fan on the pitch at Reading when we lost the play-off semi-final.

    I also seem to recall Steve Bruce almost having a scrap with Martin Allen on the touchline during the same game. I mentioned that to ‘Mad Dog’ Martin Allen when I was a reporter covering Barnet and he was their manager. “Mad dog” is indeed an appropriate nickname for him.

    But I liked Scott Green. He looked menacing especially as he had no teeth and a badly heed! If only we had a couple of “Premiership class” Scott Greens in our team now. We could do with a bit of no nonsense tackling tomorrow against Sjoke.

    On the subject of fans confronting players on the pitch & Stoke I remember that young lads feeble attack on the Stoke keeper (Gavin Ward I think) as he was taking a goal kick

    I know the young lad was a bit pished but a more feeble slap & kick I’ve yet to see

    Judging from the way the same keeper floored another pitch invader at Bristol Rovers a few years later that lad’s lucky he didn’t get more than a criminal record for his troubles

      I remember the interesting Tuesday night game against Bristol Rovers when the ref sent 4 of their players off and one of ours and we still only went on to win 3 – 0. Never seen a team win 3 – 0 and still get booed!

      I remember Paul Dalglish swapping wings in the Canvey Island game because Julian Dicks was frightening the life out of him

      Paul Daglish eh, if only he had been as good as his dad. I suppose he wouldn’t have ended up playing for us he had been :lol: He scored in that 6-1 massacre of Sjoke a few years ago :D

        Away at Telford in the Cup around 82. Roy Tunks tries to save a shot with his @rse. He didn’t, we lost, but it was worth it for Tunksy’s theatrics.

        The cambridge utd fan on his todd in the away end :) .
        i might be wrong but as well as singing on his own did he have a rattle?. plus york city away in 1998, the half time music wasn’t the usual chart dross but joy division (shadow play) amongst other obscure stuff i have never heard played before or since at any football ground i have visited.

        Wrexham F A cup away seventies, it s all kicking off bigtime and im only a kid then a bloody massive Welshman picks me up and throws me onto the pitch and tells me to run to other side of ground to get away from the scrapping.

        I think the lad at Bury was emigrating to Australia and was his last game, probably about six foot tall now and hard as nails.

        I remember Derek Stillie running onto the pitch at Wycombe and kicking a ball straight into the stomach of a steward stood next to the goal.

          I remember a night match, Bristol Rovers I think, in the depths of winter and it was absolutely lashing down. There were about six fans stood in the Shevvy end getting absolutely soaked and on the receiving end of some unsympathetic banter. At half time someone waved them over and they were allowed to watch the rest of the game from the Phoenix stand.

            QPR away, night match in the Championship. There’s a lull in play as a player needs treatment at the edge of the box. Being a very tight ground, one of our number, whose name rhymes with “daddy” decides to start goading the keeper about how he’s going to balls up the resultant free kick. Keeper gets about five minutes of relentless, surreal stick along the lines of, “You’re gonna slip and fall over; I”m watching you; I’ve got to you, haven’t I? …” Is my mind playing tricks or did he really slip, give the ball straight to us, and concede almost immediately? Either way it was almost as funny as said supporter’s Erasure dance for the steward at Wycombe.
