GMOwl72 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Once caught a random ball back in 2012 when waiting for a train at Wembley Park station. Just came out of nowhere! Something to do with a nearby penalty shoot out apparently. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamthemayor Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 A few year back I was in Milton Keynes visiting the in laws when we clocked there was a game v Brighton which was basically free if you had kids. Me and the two kids went, sat about 5 rows from the front. Next thing the ball got cleared from the MK box about 10 mile up in the air bearing straight down on us. Course I didn’t want to catch it so I thought it was a better idea to volley it straight back. As my football skills were not as good as they used to be I caught it on the side of my foot thus sent the ball spinning backwards straight into the dial of a chap sat about 5 rows back, blood everywhere..Quickly I apologised and the guy was cool about it but then I realised his lad had a Man Ure shirt on so I think it was a pretty good shot all in all.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoop Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I got hit in the head by a Giles Coke shot during the warm up when we lost 7-0 at Man City a few years ago Very embarrassing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattitheowl Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Away at Huddersfield when Llera scored that free kick the year we beat the pigs to 2nd I was right at the front. Ball came straight to me and I threw it back to one of our players for the corner. Then when Llera scored all the players celebrated right in front of us. That was a great day! Just not bothered...

goonan8 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I went to white hart lane to watch us in the 94-95 season, I caught the ball after one of our players kicked it out. Nicky Barmby was waiting for me to give the ball to him so I looked at him but threw the ball the other way and gave him the rods. He was laughing though to be fair.

sulzer Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 The arsenal thumping at home the other season I took the sting out of a clearance and it fell into my lads hands which he then gave to giroud who then gave him a little clap which made his day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owlin' Wolf Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Had a full pork pie flash past my head and smash on the floor in front of me whilst sat in lower lepp. Despite the pork involvement it wasn’t the pigs but the next worst thing - Leeds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handworth52 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 ive never caught or headed the ball at a game , the last time I touched a match ball was a fizzing jermain Johnson shot what I finger tipped over my head on kop ,I didn't fancy getting smacked in the face so tipped it over my head in last 4 years the ball has not come anywhere near me during a game ,due to having a previous manager who was not kean on taking shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat Owl Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I like wandering around my garden late at night. Gazing in awe up at the night sky. But I am ready. Like Springett. Ready to catch Simmo's penalty without doing a 'Loris'.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark77 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Took a Bannan piledriver full on in the warm up at Bolton last August in the League Cup. Caught it flawlessly, he gave me a thumbs up! Should have put me in goal that night seen as Wildsmith did his usual trick of gifting the opposition a goal.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ball came out for a Wednesday throw in. Instinctively I stepped forwards and palmed it back to Wallace. In the process I accidently decked a young PNE fan into the advertising board prompting a huge cheer from the Owls masses and a swift exit for me. Was that you Was reyt funny cos that twonk had been giving it big un all game too daft poopydoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
