If I recall correctly…..the match sponsor (a local hairdresser) hired the giant inflatable, and a geezer ran on and Kung Fu’d it. Like any good pitch invader he then made a swerving run and showed a real turn of pace (more than any of the team did that day) before being grabbed by the forces of law and order.It was indeed the last game of 1975-6 v Bolton, the focus was on Killer, if he got 2 goals he would have scooped 10k off the Express for getting to 30 league goals. Trouble was, we lost 4-0, which was actually unusual in those days, it was the time of Fortress Valley.13

For some reason the picture of the inflatable being stretchered off has given me the giggles.

As far as I know every club did. I know from memory that as well as us, Southend and West Ham did. A quick internet search has just returned pictures of similar boards at Arsenal, Shrewsbury, Hibernian, Chester, West Brom (theirs was huge) and Bradford.meldrew66 said:

Ah Grahams Webb, the Teasie Weasie Raymond of Sarf London.1

Looks like a game on It's a Knockout.
Definitely the UK version as there would be some massive tit that you need to collect milk from if it was the Belgian one.2 -
Somebody on here must know who the invader was0

Graham's Web...
Grahams Webb...
Pretty sure it was plain old Graham Webb. Next door to Mackley's....0 -

If a particulatly fine cut is required on the snooker tables up our club but its do-able its known as a 'Graham Webb' - if its impossible then its a 'Frankie' - as in frankie frazer couldn't cut that. The choice of inflatable does seem a bit strange - i like it but how super mario / frank sidebottom ties up with a hairdressers, i'm not sure0
