Yesterdays incident that saw Harrison and the Bradford defender's boots become entangled was the first time I can remember an incident like this happening in over 60 years of watching the gas..Can anyone remember any other unusual event? My starter is a goal scored directly from a goalkick.The match in question was the first game played at Eastville after the big freeze up in Feb 1963..Brighton had a goalkick at the Tote End and as the keeper was taking it ( I think it was Bryan Powney) he slipped and the ball slowly went into the air only for Alfie Biggs to head it back into the unguarded net. Rovers went onto win 4-1.

Marcus Browning having the ball rolled out to him by the opposition keeper was quite unusual.

Recall Harold Jarman chasing a ball ,Muller Road end,Eastville which went over the line by a big margin but he still crossed it from a couple of yards behind the line and one of our players headed home and the goal stood!!!We had a great view from high up in the North Stand.

Dave Beasant dribbling out of his box as he always did for Wimbledon and kicking it straight to Steve White who hit it straight back into the empty net at Eastville

That day at twerton when someone had a whistle and rob newman i think caught the ball right in front off the covered side,only for the ref to give hand ball, cue us all laughing at newman.

Or Brucey Grobellaar doing a similar thing in front of the Blackthorn end for Plymouth only to get thwarted on the third occasion and I think it was Marcus Browning who intercepted to roll into an empty net but something’s telling me it may have been Cureton.

Remember a match at Eastville (Nov60)against Plymouth Argyle when we lost 5-2. Match played in heavy rain and greyhound track and pitch ankle deep in mud.Argyle winger Mike Tiddy picked up ball near halfway line north enclosure side and carried on down the wing.As he was running with ball his shorts started to slip down under weight of mud and after beating Rovers full back they fell down near his knees. Tiddy stopped to pull them up before he could get his cross in and our full back got back to clear the ball.

Not an unusual incident but a strange game. Does anyone else remember us playing Zambia in a friendly at Eastville in the 70's. It was an evening game, i think during the normal season. Think we won 4.0 and David Williams scored from the half way line...
Now I've read that back I really hope it wasn't a weird dream

Can’t remember the year early 00’s when we were eventually relegated to bottom tier we had a relegation scrap with Swindon at the mem.
watering down on a muddy pitch and don’t know who shot but it went through the keepers legs on the edge of the box and was rolling into the back of the net but the ball just got slower and slower and stopped bang on the line.
Game finished 0-0.

Scoring 8 goals at Brighton, now you don’t get more unusual than that.

The game at Bradford last season first time I can ever remember play being suspended because of a drone.
Wigan away ...not the first time a clown has been engaged as a referee but the first time a card happy ref kept it in his pocket for a blatant bookable offence to avoid a game being forcibly abandoned due to insufficient numbers on the pitch. We won 4-1 (in red cards that is) we lost the match but I prefer to forget that detail!

The dog proving more elusive and unpredictable than our winger, one Gashead wag shouted out "Leave the dog on - take Sterling off!" |

I remember a pre season game at Twerton a few years back with someone walking their dog on a lead round the terraces. |

I remember poor old Ollie trying to cover his bald pate during a hailstone downpour at the Mem. Must have been really painful!
