There's a few, but I loved the moment at the end of the 2012 season when Alex Ferguson and his players are seen walking off the pitch having just "Won" the Premier League title and they look up at the giant scoreboard to suddenly see that Manchester City had snatched the title with a last-minute, actually 94th minute, winner from Sergio Aguero. Stunned or what!

Iwelumo against Westerloo in a friendly in Belgium 03/04...... less than one yard out and put the ball over the bar...... .........and the stand

Everyone just looking at each other as if to say “ did that just happen”? “ did he just miss that”

A split second after you just heard laughter rippling across the away end terrace

Surreal 😂

I would also add Diana Ross and her "Penalty" in the opening ceremony of the 1994 World cup.

Can’t find any footage but the most surreal and quite funny moment for me came in a World Cup Finals game with Columbia can’t remember who they were playing. Columbia were masters of time wasting and when the ball went out for a goal kick for Columbia, the goalkeeper threw the ball towards the corner flag and the Columbians lined up to defend a corner. A massive melee ensued as two teams argued over whose kick it was whilst the ref stood there completely perplexed as to what was going on.

That game against Spurs when Gomes knocked out two of his own defenders trying to punch the ball and burst into tears.

This did happen didn't it? I'm at the stage when I don't entirely trust my own memory.

and the moment where the Hull keeper put the ball out for a corner, rather than give Rory another chance to send in one of his missiles

What about when Danny rose was getting hammered. They brought him off for his own good. He started walking from the dug outs to the changing rooms then proper started sprinting to get away.

I've never known hatred of that level before/since. Good days!!!

An evening home game against Watford about fifteen years ago. The ref seemed to give a few decisions Watford’s way. When he came close to the touch line, one of our lot shouted out,”Yer bloody useless, referee!” The ref turned and faced him and replied, “My best is yet to come”. Everybody around in that section of the crowd burst out laughing, while the originator of the conversation looked gobsmacked. The refs aren’t supposed to talk back at you! Can’t remember the result, I think it might have been a 1-0 win.

I remember a match at the Vic, late in the 1969 season against Arsenal. Can't recall a lot about the teams or the game although Stoke were well beaten 3-1. At one stage I think Arsenal were 3-0 up and running rings around us, and there was virtually dead silence around the ground as Stoke supporters were stunned or disbelieving. A poor pass from a Stoke player drifted out of play and in the absolute silence as Stoke waited for the ball to come back there was one plaintive voice that could be heard shouting the memorable words: "Come on Stoke you've got em worried!"

3 stand out for me.
Exeter away, in that very small away end, a shot came flying towards Ronnie Sinclair"s goal, Ronnie dived. missed it, but a bloke next to me caught the ball. Ronnie came to retrieve the ball and the bloke gave it to him saying " It"s ok Ronnie, i had it covered , want me to take over from you. Ronnies reply was " Fu*k off "
Steino playing for Bournemouth against us at Bournemouth. Missed an open goal in front of us " Steinos still a Stokie " we chanted. he looked at us smiled and laughed, to this day im convinced he missed on purpose.
Ajax at home, i stayed the night in Stoke, instead of driving back to Bournemouth. Went in the supporters bar under the main stand near the Boothen, Was sat there when a guy tapped me on the shoulder " These 2 seats taken pal ? " It was only Our Denis and his wife. Spent a good hour chatting with him. lovely couple, he asked if i played and i said yes i do, for Everton. Denis said ive never seen you, and laughed when i said Everton was a small village outside from Bournemouth
Oh, one more, i met Archie Gemmell and his wife in Cyprus a few years ago, and the stories he told me about Cloughie had me in stitches

I remember being at Bramall Lane when the goal net was festooned with oatcakes, hundreds of them!

You know the back story to this?

[marylandstoke]

My Dad told me a story years ago.

He was at Crewe game, night match and foggy. At some point there’s a dog on the pitch and the stewards, players and official chase round until said mutt is caught. As the game resumes into the night and mist, a lone voice shouts..”bring the dog back on”

Singing "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" for the first time when we played Arsenal after the rugby team comments. That was one of the loudest occasions I've ever heard at the Brit.

You had to be there to appreciate it, but many years ago a group of used to go and watch Eastwood Hanley.

No idea who they were playing, but the number four from the opposition team had hair like Ian Wallace, ex-Coventry.

As he was about to take a throw in, someone shouted “Number Four, who knit your hair, your nan?”.

The Eastwood players were in hysterics, but said number four didn’t see the funny side at all.

Five minutes later, he really lost and got sent off.

I genuinely feared for the bloke who shouted it, but bloody hell it was funny at the time.

When playing years ago, had a game at Issac Walton, anyway our winger had been suffering from a upset stomach, halfway through the match we saw him leg it off the pitch and down a embankment, couple min later we heard him shouting f this f that, he had only had diarrhoea and wiped is arse with nettles lol

[thehartshillbadger]

Personally from playing I recall being sent clean through, then my boot came off. Of course I insisted on finishing with my bootless foot after going round the keeper and smashed it over the bar, open goal gaping

[farnborostokie63]

we were playing Crawley away in the cup, Begovic was in the goal nearest the away end with a baseball cap on. someone shouted something like 'is that pulises cap you've got' he looked round grinning sheepishly
