Mid Sussex Royal I wonder how many times Hicksy would have managed it?


...or Percy Freeman. I can remember one of his cannons hitting the junction of bar and post and bouncing over the Norfolk Road stand.

The ball was kicked out of the stadium twice, and it was David James both times.

Except the first one wasn't as it happened just past the half way line by their defender

Andy Hughes hit the very very top of the West Stand roof vs Coventry once, sad that I remember it.

Sonko tried it several games in a row, and actually cleared it once. He might have done so again a while afterwards.

At one of the friendlies in pre-season (Northampton?), Morrison kicked every ball by the pitch over one stand in about 10 minutes and they had to fetch a new ball from the tunnel.

YateleyRoyal I'm sure Sonko did it more than once in his time....


I recall it from him once out over the south stand roof.


Someone has done it before and I'm certain it was Sonko if not him then it was either Duberry or Bikey.


All backs look the same tbf

It was kicked out the stadium during an incredibly dull match v Leicester in about 2005, over the East Stand roof. The game was so bad that it was the most noteable incident. It even made a few match reports in the papers.

Not going through all the pages here but i'm 99% sure that Sonko did it at least once during his infamous tenure!

Nice to see the ball disappear over the roof again on Saturday. Think it was either Dunne or Hill 8)
