Was just prompted by another thread , talking of Barnsley and the odd fracas or unwelcomig hospitality , and was remembering getting hit by a house brick stood at Barnsley rail staion after a sheffield cup game.
I also copped for a slab of crumbling concrete step at Valley Parade and when theyd removed the roof a Blackpool a rivet missed my shoulder by 6 inches , and hit my head-
I also got stoned a la life of Brian on the old half a kop at Burnden Park
.Been pissed on from the upper deck at Goodison
And a seat thrown at me at Preston

Surely theres a case for wearing a yellow vest and a helmet

whats struck you around the years
 



I knew there would be an explanation for your ultra positive posts ;)
 
Bert had a snooker ball (white) chucked at him at Ayresome Park season 70-71. It missed, as did the bottles at Hull that season.
 
Millwall almost hit by a paving slab dropped off top of away end at the old den
Half a red hot pie at the s6 rust heap
Coins of various denominations at Leeds
Few more but with all the direct hits the memory is not so good
Oh remember a blade being thrown thru a plate glass window while visiting chelski
All the above quite a few years ago
 
A large mature pigeon shitted on my head in Birmingham.

I can only assume it was large and mature bird judging by the quantity of foul smelling greenish cack which ran down the side of my face. :eek:

I wasn't angry at the bird, more the people nearby who thought it was funny.

Does anyone remember the log that came into our end at the Den. It was like a telegraph pole ,massive. The worst coining was at Wigans old ground. My mate was shot in the leg on the way to Brunton Park with an air rifle as we walked across that park on the way to the game. And several people copped for piles of cowshit at the famous relegation game at Cambridge as we walked across fields but they were friendly fire from our own side.
 
Stood on the old John St terrace near the Lane end I was unfortunate enough to get hit on the side of the neck with a recently purchased meat pie that must have come straight out of the oven. That was back in the early 80's.

I now know first hand what napalm must feel like.
 
A half empty can of coke hit me at Birmingham once, chucked by one of their scummy fans. And the obligatory bricks thrown at the bus driving through Liverpool of course.

Also most ladies toilets at football grounds should really be of major concern from a health and safety point of view!
 
Yes, I remember bits of masonry coming our way on a shared terrace at Valley Parade one time, likewise bricks thrown from behind some terracing onto us at Ninian Park.
Obviously the wall collapsing at the Tivoli End, Milmoor and I think I've twice seen the ball break off bits of corrugated asbestos sheeting at Bramall Lane, once from the front of the John Street Stand roof and once from Bramall Lane Stand roof - though it it could have been metal in the latter case.
On one occasion when I sat in the John Street, I still remember a lovely smell of pipe smoke.

Burning hot Bovril at Ewood Park that made the skin peel from the inside of my mouth, does that count ?AND a policeman thumped me too that day.
 
Had a finger dislocated and spilled red hot Bovril on my bollocks thanks to a stray Paul Peschisolido shot at Grimsby.

Got trampled to fuck trying to get through the shitty narrow alley at Milmoors away end. That was horrific.

Fell down the South Stand stairs celebrating Michael Browns goal against the swine.

Got smacked in the mouth by a flailing fist whilst celebrating Shipperlys goal against Hull in a case of friendly fire.

Got my leg trapped in a seat celebrating a goal against Leeds, which hurt like hell (My fault since I was standing ON the seat at the time)

And I once got called a knobhead by a Burnley fan when I suggested he probably had carnal relations with his sister. (Thickest fans in English football by quite a distance by the way).
 
I got hit by an egg at the old Hull stadium, where the terrace was divided between away and home fans. I'd just acquired some new "trendy" gear, Fila or Lacoste or something, and it ended up being covered in an eggy mess, much to the amusement of my mates.

That must have been in the early 80's and I've disliked Hull ever since.
 



Coming out of the old Baseball ground at Derby was fun the away mob would head down one street and the Derby lot down the next street then the bricks would start flying over the houses, it always reminded me of the old newsreels where the American fleet would put up a AA barrage for the Kamikazi's :eek:
 
I remember the old Baseball ground and a battering we got as we left down those old streets. We were being pelted with everything and as we ran down the street I remember my mate Baz running straight into set of railings and him coming to a dead stop and a silver wrist watch bouncing alongside the road. He became a Derby punch bag and I next saw him walking hobbling back into the train station minus his wrist watch. :D
 
I was walking back from Leeds Road with a mate to my car which was parked at the local playing field when a van full of Blades passed us. As it passed the back door opened and one of the morons inside chucked an egg which hit my mate square in the chest and ruined his jacket.

His reaction?

He threw his jacket open to reveal his red and white shirt and shouted we're Blades you stupid c*nts

FREINDLY FIRE CASUALTY
lucky you werent in the US army
 
I was walking back to the station in Chester after a 1-1 at draw at Sealand Road with 3 guys I had just met on the train over when we were ambushed by a large group of home yobs.

I ended up spending the bank holiday weekend in the local hospital whilst the police told me "we saw your mates running down the road".

If I ever see those three South Elmsall lads again they will have some explaining to do!

I also forgot the wall falling down at Halifax in a 5-1 away win , it just fell over

Like fuck it just fell over. It fell on me, scraping right down my leg and ruining a brand new pair of Levi. We were stood in front of it with people/kids sat on top of it. We conceded early on and then we got a penalty, when that decision was given I was leaning back against the wall and I felt it move and wobble. I said to everybody I was with that this thing is going to fall over and they all laughed, but I moved away from it further down the terrace. Kenworthy scores the penalty, wall goes over right down my leg. An older guy behind me had a big brick fall directly on his ankle and break it. We tried to get the stewards/police to get him some help. They thought it was kicking off, so the copper whacks me across the shoulder with his baton. Bleeding leg and knackered shoulder.

Brick through the coach window at leeds left me with a cut head.

Oldham. Every time I went something happened!

Wildest was Newcastle. Walking to the ground, passing a complex of flats (think they were called St James' Park Flats, demolished ages ago) and heard a mighty crash just in front of us. Somebody had chucked a TV off one of the flat balconies, none of your flimsy flat screen stuff back then, the TV was big fucker which would've killed if it hit.

My lucky escape was being at the Tivoli end at Millmoor when the wall collapsed. Decided I didn't like the crush and moved around the ground to the railway end. I think that was the game Cooperman went up the floodlight pylon to evade the police, or am I confused again?
 
I remember being a teenager walking back to Sheffield Station with a couple of mates after a home game to Wolves, (94-95 season, drew 3-3). I remember a grown up bloke starting on me and punching me in the face as he thought i was laughing at him, so i turned round and hit him with a boxing combination and floored him and then dropped his mate who tried to grab hold of me. Think the lesson learned for them was not to pick on a lanky, skinny, long haired teenager.

Had piss thrown on me on the bottom tier of the away end at Forest.

Had to walk the gauntlet of hate at Fratton Park the day the United fan ran on to the pitch and smacked the linesman.

Been on South Bermondsey station where it has all kicked off at Millwall.

Then the most bizarre one of all. Walked out of the Valley after beating Charlton 5-2 a few years ago. Got talking to a Charlton fan and then another one just walked over and cracked me for no reason, before the police came over and picked him up, spent 5 minutes telling them i wasn't bothered, as we all get a bit irate from time to time, there was no hard feelings and to let him go
 
SouthEssexBlade Hadn't read all the posts when I wrote the following....... When I was stewarding on the coaches we played Halifax and when we got to the ground they had built a breeze block wall (crush barrier) half way down the standing area knowing that we were bringing a few thousand.
Twats had put hand written £5 signs over every away turnstile (but that's another story). After KO part of the wall collapsed with fans leaning on it and it fell on the fans in front. A couple of people on my coach were hurt and one of them (a regular on my coach) in his 50's broke his ankle.
Tbh don't know if he took any action as he never came on our coaches again.
 
Hudds old ground, Leeds Road, was accessible via an alleyway of truly Orwellian squalor.

Dark, terraced slums, paved only in horse shit. Filthy urchins playing in stolen shopping trolleys, fly-tipped rubble and household detritus piled up for no one to take away.

All it needed was the smell of boiled tripe and we'd be in the 1930s.
 
managed to dodge a dart thrown at us at Bloomfield Road - then some idiot picked it up and threw it back...

moved out of artillery range straight afterwards
 



I remember a wall collapsing at a midweek game at Mansfield and also the Blades fans building a fire on the away end at Blackburn
