Whatahoot Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I can only remember Don Megson putting the ball onto the North Stand roof, way back, but Joost nearly got it up there twice in one game, which would have gone into our folklore I think.. Can anyone recall the last time a ball found its way up there from the foot of a Wednesday player ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wednesdayok Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 A ball boy in the late 90s tried to kick the ball back to david hirst, hit it all the way to the roof and onto penistone road, Johnny Wilkinson was the boys name I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly it was Cambridge's Ferrah Orosco who knocked 2 into the river and Mark Collis the other? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owls-swfc Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I can remember Colin West nearly clearing the new (as then) kop roof, from the penalty spot,... A feat never surpassed since then,... A feat that defied the laws of vectors and gravity,... A feat that still gives me never ending nightmares replayed over and over again in my head!

Lincs Owl Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Been going since 1958. It's at least the 3rd time I've seen it done. Maybe the 4th. Very unusual though. If you watch matches at places like Fleetwood Town, every other time the ball goes over the bar, it goes out of the ground. Maybe they post a ballboy outside. Must cost £50 or more every time they lose a ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
