Wasn’t a goal celebration but was at Notts County away and was so drunk (and a steep stand) I fell forward and landed directly on my head, lucky I didn’t break my neck. Blood everywhere.Quote:

I tore my ankle ligaments at Colchester in 1993 celebrating Chris Pikes goal just on half time.
St John's volunteers put me in a wheelchair and wheeled me past the home fans to their treatment room. In hindsight doing the Ayatollah in front of them wasn't the best idea.
Was it the first away just before Sam took over ?Quote:

Game over, walking out in the crowd...
Bloody big police horse decided to "taste the top of his head" - blood everywhere, cops did f all.
Surely the lad at Millwall in 2011 takes the prize. Toppled over the top tier into the empty bottom one twenty feet below after our first goal. We all thought he was dead. Didn't stop some of South London's finest doing diving actions from the stand as he was being treated by the emergency teams, though!
There was that guy who knocked himself out running into the post during a pitch invasion after we scored. Hartlepool away '98, I think. Game was held up. Was it someone on here?
Good shout , just after little earnie scoredQuote:

If you want to compare scars in a Jaws scene sort of way I am up for itQuote:

My torn ankle ligaments were more painful though
I thought this thread was going to be about players so it reminded me of Nikolai Muller of Hamburg who celebrated a goal by doing a weird twirly wonder woman type thing until he stumbled and ruptured knee ligaments. Was out for 7 months. Daft sod.
Steve Morrow scoring the winner for Arsenal at Wembley 1993 League Cup Final. Celebrations at the end where Tony Adams attempts to lift him onto his shoulders, drops him and break his arm :hehe:Quote:

It was 200 yardsQuote:

That's dedicationQuote:

No the old X1 service used to go from the main bus station all the way, can't remember where it terminated maybe Swansea. After the success of that season the PT supporters club started running a coach again. It used to drop us off and pick up in Lawrenny Ave. Then when that finished it was on the train with the big boys. The old X1 stopped everywhere on the A48, used to take an hour and a half to get home. By then I'd read the pink Echo twice.
You could get a pink echo in porthcawl but then everything went darkQuote:
