Wasn't there, but my mate tells me a similar story. If its the same game didn't owls fans reply with "we'll have a roof at Wembley". Guessing 83 or 86 if it was.

But that's the Hollywood version anyways. All I know is he scored not long after coming on after getting slated. Reminded me of the scene out of that wierd hooligan film ID. When they are like he can't score a waffle! But cheers for spoilng my memory haha. The comedy moment I will never forget. The exact goings on, on the pitch obviously already have Edited September 6, 2016 by don'tCallMeOwlCallYo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was based at RAF Cosford at that time so it was the shortest journey to a game that I had all season. Great banter between the fans that night and very funny. I just wish I could remember what all the chants were... and forget the Bannister penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingOwl Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Whenever an unlikely player scores an absolute stunner tends to make me chuckle. Prutton turning into Gascgoine vs Oldham & Buxton mugging Barton off spring to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lees Tom Cat Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Can't remember who against but Reda got floored badly in front of North . Fans started singing "Reda's gonna get ya" so their manager took the player who did it straight off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An old mate of mines, older brother that. Great shadow header Mr Wilson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the chants to them was..."WHAT'S A ROOF, WHAT'S A ROOF, WHAT'S A ROOF"...with us singing back the word roof as they'd sang it to us, wish I could spell it how they made it sound but it was truly hilarious, the good natured banter between the two sets of fans that night made the trip bearable after what else happened.

woldsowl Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 93 on the way to Wembley on the train from Donny, can't remember which game. There were 2 lads about 12 years old, very excited and having a great time. One of them disappeared off to the loo and returns about 5 minutes later having done some face painting and to be fair he'd done a decent job. Nice blue and white stripes with SW on one cheek and FC on the other in yellow. Everyone was killing themselves laughing as he'd done it looking in the mirror and the writing had come out backwards. He had no clue what we were laughing at and no-one told him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl Rly Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Enjoyed when we beat MK Dons at home in League One at home in the promotion season. Not that it was a huge memorable scalp, but beating a promotion rival managed by that smug Scouse *** Robinson was enjoyable when we overpowered them and made them look very ordinary. The funniest bit was the tackle that Julian Bennett did on Stephen Gleeson, which was an old-school full-blooded crunching tackle where he got the ball but rolled over it and caught Gleeson's leg. I'm not sure how bad it really was, but Gleeson walking off the pitch throwing a tantrum was absolutely hilarious. The whinging sound bites from Robinson afterwards were hilarious also.

james o connor Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 James o Connor trying a bicycle kick was funny for obvious reasons. Potters corners. Helans unbelievable ability to run the ball out for throw ins unchallenged was my personal favourite a couple of years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Bateman Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Iirc a lad proposed to his girlfriend on the pitch and the kop responded "you don't know what you're doing" Also Laurie Madden kicking Gary Bennett 6 foot in the air early 80s.

Gingernuts Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Loads of us on the Kop pelting Pat Jennings with snowballs. Circa 1979 I think. He was not happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagmeister Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Not read all the pages so apologies if duplicated but Sam Ellis stopping the click on the North with one of his trademark clearances was a classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It went on quite some time. The wolves fans in their broad black country accents it actually sounded like. "Whats it like to have no woof". So we replied " we'll have a woof at wembley".
