Only time was standing behind the goal in the Ipswich end at the old Belle Vue ground in Doncaster, League Cup game 2004. There with Ipswich supporting uni girlfriend of the time. Town were trailing 2-0 to lower division Rovers so were obviously in a rush and the away end was aggy. Ball went out, I thought for a Donny corner, so I picked it up, and heaved it off towards the corner flag. It was actually an Ipswich goalkick, so Lewis Price had to sprint halfway across the pitch to get it and waste more of their own time.

I was not popular and the relationship didn't last.

I got smacked in the arm from a Munoz shot against Palace last season

My one and only time to throw the ball back was against Cardiff New years day in 2024. It landed next to me and I quickly threw it back to the keeper but completely botched it and it hit some poor bloke in the back of the head near the front. Like an anxiety dream come true, I'm still cringing at it now when my son regularly reminds me of it

Stoke away Easter 84, Rangers were warming up at the away end, someone was shooting in at Peter Hucker. A shot flew over the bar and fencing but came at perfect height to catch above my head. Only a few minutes later, same thing again, two clean catches! Got a few cheers from the Rs fans and Peter Hucker walked to the fencing offering me some keeper gloves

From Elgin City v Queen of the South - this should be hanging in an art gallery somewhere:

Having read this thread before going to sleep last night I dreamt that I caught the ball... away at Newcastle! No idea how the bloody hell it got all the way up to Everest base camp levels above the sea but I assume it must have been one of our efforts on goal rather than theirs.

We played Exeter City in a pre-season friendly back in 2013 - the ball got blazed into the crowd and I caught it, immediately wrapping it up in a jumper and pretending I hadn't seen it. It's still somewhere at home now.

I also conjured up a plan to try nick a ball off one of the ball boys at the end of our pre-season against Barnet at The Hive a few years ago but bottled it - ended up just asking him if I could have one and he chucked one over to me! Cue charging around a bit pished having a kickabout on the pitches on the way back to the station, still in my suit having come straight from work.

I remember my dad catching a ball and throwing it back to a player taking a throw-in during a Crystal Palace v Norwich city game in the 90s. He's was a London based Norwich city fan and would always get us tickets in the home ends of various London clubs (which is how I came to support QPR), as it was hard to get away end tickets during Norwich's purple patch during this period. So when his well aimed throw to a Crystal Palace FB led to a quick throw-in, which in turn led to a goal he was getting pats on the back and handshakes from all the Palace fans aound him and he had to pretend to be happy about setting up a player to score against his side! 9 year old me found it hilarious.

Can't remember the game. At LR and Lee Cook looked up to take a quick corner. I tried to kick it back and fluffed it bit time. I'll never forget the disappointment on Cookies face 😂😂

Andy Woodman famously hit the same fan twice in the keepers warm up

It’s in here somewhere:

A long long time ago away at The Dell I was sitting in the front row of the away end down the side when the ball came to me for a Saints throw. I held onto the ball and as Francis Benali who had been kicking lumps out of Trevor Sinclair came to get the ball and at the pinpoint time I throw the ball in his face hitting him straight on the nose. Well all hell broke out the stewards came in looking for me but as I was with about 15 of my mates and we all had had a few they retreated and decided against starting a mini riot.

Two minutes later Trevor ran alongside the touchline saw me and gave a big thumbs up.

Not proud of it but is a story I always like to tell.........

Bobby Mimms kicked the ball into the away paddock in temper at the end of a game in the 80's. I was about 14, but got both mitts on it. There was a bit of tussle, but a friends dad spotted me and bundled everybody out of the way, stuck it under his jacket and gave me a lift home. Lovely Adidas Tango. Sold it to my mate for £20 (they were £30 new)
