Off the top of my head.....


Bertie Bee nailing a streaker

Birmingham fan (away game) being chased by the police As he was hurdling the seats. It soon became apparent his legs were moving too fast for his body and with a “Wooooooooooo...wheyyyy!!” He crashed into the seats and was quickly nicked.

Barney Rubble invading the pitch. Fulham away in the 90s. Bloke was leathered so didn’t get far

Prestons keeper losing the plot when we beat them 4-3 is right up there.

Blackpool first fan of the week being paraded in front of the Burnley fans. He got dogs abuse and when he reacted with a middle finger and an F off he was kicked out haha

The Birmingham one was what immediately came to my mind inchy.

Which one?

Carlisle away burnley fan ran onto pitch at half time with a lilo.and doggy paddled on in centre circle

Seem to recall Steve Helliwell (aka Zak Dingle) being carried onto the Turf by the Army Corp prior to a match with North End.

Ian Measham getting stretchered off, as soon as they crossed the touchline he got off the stretcher and ran back onto the pitch.

Outside pre-match at the same game,
Slightly drunk Burnley fan bouncing an inflatable sheep off his groin whilst shouting 'Yorkshire Clarets, Yorkshire Clarets'.
An ajacent police inspector just shook his head and walked away.

The lad at Birmingham for me too.

He was trying to run down the stand not on the steps but on the backs of the plastic chairs.

He did very well to retain his balance for the first 8 or 9 but the further he progressed, the more he built up speed. It was always a case of when -not if- he fell and the entire away end were all just waiting for him to go.

By the time he came crashing down he was almost at terminal velocity which meant he crumpled at a terrific pace into a heap. Me, my Dad and the mate who was sat with us were genuinely bent double with laughter for about 5 minutes.

It was so funny it hurt.

On Deadwood. Not against us. Guy in crowd constantly blowing a whistle. Appeals go out nothing changes. After a kerfuffle in the crowd 4 cops carry this guy upside down around the pitch perimeter from the Town End to down the tunnel. Dropping him every 5yds, accidentally kicking him!, then pick up and repeat. Walking behind all this is their sergeant spinning a whistle on a string.

Stockport fans giving it large before the play off and then seeing them gathered in a tiny corner of Wembley was pretty funny.
Have to admit Iaughed out loud when Godfrey scored that own goal the other week for Norwich.
Charlie Adam attempting to take a corner and falling on his arse.

Worth a giggle:

Take your pick from ...

1) The moment both benches realised what was about to happen when Andy Cole went chasing after Darren Purse

2) Those dogs they used to parade at half time

3) Ball rolling off Bob Lord stand and landing on player’s head (I’m easily amused)

4) Chico

5) Kevin Ball scything Fatty Dunn in half

6) A second vote for the fan at Blackpool who got carted off

7) Djimi Traore’s own goal

8) The parachutist who got stuck on the Cricket Field end roof

9) Gifton’s penalty

10) The Reading defender who launched the ball into touch every time he kicked it and got dog’s abuse

Away at Reading in 2014, we'd already earned promotion, they thought they'd made the playoffs so invaded the pitch in celebration, but hadn't realised the results had gone against them at the end.
Naturally we were really sympathetic....

Great day out and I had a good laugh waiting for the bus back to Reading on my own, bit of aggro but there were a number of decent Reading fans telling their idiots to eff off and leave me alone.

Stockport away yonks ago.... county fan in their end to the left of the away end, stood on his seat gobbing off. Burnley fan launches a can of ? And smacked him clean on the napper, knocking him on his arse... brings a smile even now....

Birmingham, they had an old fashioned home/away cell, he came in as myself and 2 mates were in for basically drunk and disorderly, he was offering us out despite being about 14. We just laughed and wound him up, he was still doing it at the station, thankfully we’ve grown up but I doubt he will have done

Versus Derby in the FA Cup... The one with the legendary aftermatch hysteria I think.

The first match was abandoned due to fog.

The rearranged game had a rather rotund Derby fan with an old football rattle.

When we were on the verge of losing, 3000+ Clarets fans turned their attention to the Derby fan and sang... Who ate all the fog? Who ate all the fog? You fat ba5tard, You fat ba5tard, You ate all the fog!

When we went to the Hawthorns after not playing each other for something like 30 years. Half time. One wba fan with a pie in each hand all on his own with thousands of Burnley fans singing whose eaten all the pies to him.

Also Forest at home. Some fat forest fan constantly abusing Burnley fans - James Hargreaves Stand in unison singing have you ever seen your dick

That flying pie landing on the coppers face at Bradford. He was livid.

Jamie Hoyland getting the pies at Bristol Rovers.

Ted MacDougall playing on the Turf and getting hit with a bag of self raising flour.

I was at that one. Their fans then came over to us and it needed police to block them.

Aa far as I'm aware the mistake by them wasn't featured on Sky, even though it must never have happened before.

Celtic fans queueing up outside pubs waiting for them to open ...

I saw you there, I was waiting for Lee P to rock up with my ticket and saw you wander in from a distance.

The banner at Charlton working its way across the stand above the board of directors.... Pity the stewards spoiled it ....

Andre Bikey trying to rip his shirt off after being sent off for reading in the first leg play off And not being able to manage it.

Strangest, Danny Fox falling injured at Selhirst Park and a fox coming on the pitch at the same time and running across and leaping on to a roof and away. It could have been smuggled in by a Burnley fan to create a faux-serendipity.

I wasn't there but this always cracks me up...

Back in the 60’s, in the days when players were stretchered off by St John ambulance personnel, one unfortunate toppled off because the octogenarian at one corner let go

Mr Fussey running into the wall on 't Turf

Wasn't there but fat boy Dunn trying to be clever with the ball and falling onto his backside.

I remember saying at the time that we were fortunate it wasn’t our goalkeeper (Beast) who was down injured. It actually got into the stand across from us with home fans falling over each other to get out of the way.

Was this the game Pink Panther ran on at half time pretending to take a penalty?

Distant memories.

There must be some footage of this somewhere sure it was a BBC documentary he was filming!

Wycombe away on a Tuesday night in April 1997. Losing 4-0 at half-time, Rocky & Selwyn took off their Burnley tops and threw them into the back of the net in disgust. They then indulged in a bit of playful topless wrestling & watched the second half bare-chested.

Has to be Bertie Bee upending the streaker

The bloke who brought his date onto the longside... early 90s.
She tottered on in heels and dressed up all nice.
We were playing Cardiff on a Tuesday night when I think it was Robbie Painter scored after 16 seconds.
She disappeared under the ensuing melee and we didn’t see her again.

We took a German Lad Stefan and his girlfriend to watch Burnley v Hull back in the mid 90's ... funniest thing was my Stepsons (1st) wife Tanja translating the rather unkind chants about the referee into German for Stefan's girlfriend who spoke very little English at the time, and her creasing up...

.... Stefan reciprocated our hospitality with a trip to Shalke for us the following Season ....

I seem to remember our physio, who was quite large, getting abuse one game for his size.

Half way though was required on the pitch, ran on dealt with the injury and then turned to the away fans and proceeded to take a bite out of a pie?!

Am I imagining this? I was only a small kid...

Ireland v Georgia I think it was 2014 , anyway around 400 Irish fans in the away end yer man in front of me about two rows in front was asleep the whole game and i mean the whole game , Ireland score in the 89th minute to win the game 2-1 we all go mad in the away end , now yer man wakes up and said " who scored " some lad said they did then went back to sleep .
Trust me we left at the end and he was still asleep , talk about drunk or what .

Selwyn getting stuck in the turnstile at Port Vale.

The streaker at Edgeley Park.

Bikey in the semi final.

Away fan ordering 3 Twixes in the Cricket field Stand and trying to pay with a fiver

Craig Hignett getting a red card and trudging the length of the Turf with the crowd singing
"You'll always be a b@stard!" ringing in his ears.

A couple of birds having a shag on top of a stand roof at crystal Palace with the home fans underneath not having a clue what the cheering was about.
A Newcastle fan last game of the season in fancy dress climbing up the floodlight that was in the away end at Nottingham forest. I think it was dressed as sylvester the cat or a pink panther, being chased by the police trying to get him down. That was the day of the Orient game but I had to drive a minibus to forest.

how did San and Tray get up onto the Roof

Shrewsbury, half-time, 3-0 down and down to 10 men. After being told we were locked in Rocky was arrested for trying to climb OUT of the ground.
