Inspired by today's thread?
I can remember taking a flaying arm in the face once or twice in the old North Stand. I slipped on the ground at Fratton Park once and bruised my knee when Dozzell (?) got the winner in that hailstorm game late 80s. |  |

Scored against the budgies in the 5-0, elbowed my mate in the face, thereby exploding his nose. He subsequently punched me in the face.
Simpler times. |  | | |

Ah, a heart warming story of two devoted friends  |  |

Went to a game years ago at Palace with my aging dad he was 70ish at the time. It was an evening KO and as we walked up to the ground he tripped on the kerb and went face first into the pavement breaking his nose. Lots of claret. The ambulance guys sorted him out and he was a bit shaken but still wanted to see the game. The police escorted us round the pitch to our seats past the ipswich fans. I had a skinhead at the time and so there's this 28 year old skinhead and a pensioner who's nose is bust and bloodied being accompanied by police. A few jeers and looks because everyone must have thought I'd done it and had been arrested for punching an OAP! |  |

At Brentford the lad behind me threw the ball back. Except he had the aim and velocity of Danny Haynes, cannoned it off the beam right in front of me and nearly sent me to Narnia. Bent my sunglasses right up too.
Took a girlfriend to Wolves away for her first ever game. Tommy Miller scored an injury time equaliser from a free kick. She did not anticipate my elbow clocking her in the face as I leapt up.
When Morsy scored at Fleetwood a lad pushed his Dad over and he sent my keys into my thigh as he landed on me. Had a lovely dead leg for hours! |  |

Pulled my hamstring celebrating Michael Owen's goal against Argentina in 98. |  |

Fooked my knee up falling down the steps rushing to celebrate Paul Mason’s winner v Man Utd 93 or 94. Quick trip to A&E then on to the Blackadder. TWTD |  |

- Stockport in March 98 when David Johnson scored I got clobbered by a mate. That was a cracking game though.
- Palace 4-3 in 2003. I only realised from the bruise on my shin the next morning that I must have made contact with a wooden seat rather hard when the winner went in.
- Millwall 4-3 in 2017. A TWTDer (who shall remain un-named) hit me in the head after Spence's winner.
Wimbledon this year. Not only was I two seats away from the old bloke who got flattened after the fist goal (not guilty) but I had someone land on my knee after the second. I did think it might be really fked at the time but got away with that. |  |

Managed to get my glasses knocked off and then smashed at Notts Forest following one of our goals in the FA Quarter Final in 80-81. Fortunately I’d travelled by train rather than driving that day. |  | | |

Newcastle at home, 92', North Stand scenes for Kiywomas winner, i punched the air as my mates jaw entered the same air space, full force. The split second after the Anglia camera focused on the celebrations, showing me trying to apologise while we're being swept around in the human soup. It was always a freeze frame moment on the old vhs tape of that season! | | | |

Nor hurt myself but I done some damage to a Town fan while celebrating Johnson's goal at Anfield in the FA Cup. Punched him hard in the back of the head.
We must of been the only two Ipswich fans in the whole ground not celebrating that goal two seconds in. He was furious with me. Much more reserved when Dozzell scored the second mind.
I did however break my ankle kicking the sofa in frustration when we hit the post in the last minute against Manchester City (Mathie I think) in the opening game of the 1996 season that was on sky  |  | | |

Away at Norwich when Chambers scored, my ticket was in about row S and ended up in row C from a mixture of jumping, stumbling and whatever else.
Was completely covered from head to toe in bruises, but no serious damage thankfully. [Post edited 20 Mar 2022 16:43]

Gashed my shin celebrating our winner on St Chaplow's day 7 years ago when nearly falling over the seat in front in the general melee. Seriously, this (and doubtless many other similar incidents) is a good example of why standing in seated areas is not safe & rail standing should be brought in ASAP. |  |

Not directly related, but I remember playing Palace at the start of the season (1995/96) and I had recently had an operation on ingrowing toe nails on both my big toes. I hobbled to the ground (shouldn't have been there really as I could barely get shoes on, let alone walk) and was fearful of anyone going near me or standing on my feet etc.
Think we won 1-0. |  |

Swindon away in about 98/99 I took my daughter to her first ever game (she was about 6) and we won 6-0. I celebrated at half-time by getting us two cups of tea, and burnt my tongue as it was so hot. Does that count? |  |

The closest I came was falling over the seats in front at Liverpool when Gavin Johnson. Shins scraped, elbow bruised, sore hands, I cared not a jot. |  | | |

My mum and dad have a pretty good one.
My mother, in her wisdom, wore heels to the cup final! Unsurprisingly, they were taken off midway through the match, hardly being the footwear of choice for said occasion, and when Osborne scored they ended up being accidentally launched into the air, hitting some bloke on the head and cutting it open.
Amidst the profound apologies he replied that he didn’t care because we’d won the cup! | | | |

No injuries beyond the standard bruised shins courtesy of all seater stadia, but two noteworthy destruction of possessions:-
2015 opening game away to Brentford, Ryan Fraser puts us 2 up, limbs everywhere, my (gold) watch flies off and is trampled to pieces, bent beyond repair. Probably wouldn't have minded if it wasn't for the 96th minute equaliser.
Watched the Germany v England 2001 world cup qualifier in a very boisterous pub in Cambridge, when Heskey put us 5-1 up a friend of mine leapt on my back, knocking my glasses off my face in the process which I tried in vain to retrieve from the carpet before they were stamped on repeatedly. |  |

The game where Chambers scored at the Scum and someone got knocked out in the celebrations… that was me.
Also cracked a rib. Think I tweeted a picture at the time. I’ll see if I can find it.
Edit - Didn’t find the exact tweet but did find one three years on with the same photo.
