My dad caught the ball once in the loft when it was a terrace, Jan Stejskal was in goal waiting for the ball. He threw it, it hit the crossbar and bounced right back to him. He threw it again, it hit the bar again and bounced back into the crowd again. Jan was not impressed.

When Luton banned away fans. A Luton fan that i worked with had to go a wedding so gave me him and his sons ticket. It was in the home end .m The Luton players kicked balls into the stand to thank their supporters. I caught one and gave it to my son, all the fans around me cheered and said well done. I smiled inwardly then had to sit on my hands when Rangers scored in the second half

That reminds me of one of the funniest things I have read either on here or the old dot.org, from a poster on holiday on some island in the med, who went down to the harbour where there was a regular pick up game.
An old local woman comes out and is hollering abuse at all the football playing tourists, as one of the players makes an absolute kiyabosh of a shot on goal, sending the ball off on to some roofs.
Alas, I can't do the poster justice, but what happened next was beautifully written. The ball goes bouncing all over the place, hitting tiles, chimneys etc. as the old woman walks off, only stopping to turn and hurl abuse back to the tourists.
Everyone, footballers, other tourists, bar staff alike could see what might happen, but the odds are so great that a shot hit so high and so wide several seconds ago could not possibly meander it's way in the opposite direction and to such an extent, that it could come into contact with a slow moving and frequently stopping old lady?
However, as ball bounces along, silences descends and with the accuracy of an exocet missile and timing of a Rolex, the ball finally rolls off the roof and hits the poor old dear on the noggins, sending her off on one!
Not since VE Day had so many Europeans been so united by events beyond their control.
