Anyone remember when this started?

Thinking about it this morning, and I can’t remember when it got going and how or who started it.

    Popularised by Powell, think it was started by Kinsella though. 

    Who did it yesterday?

    That was my initial thought. But can’t recall when the Covered End started making a noise to prompt it.

    Can we capture the jumps in this thread, for those of us who can't go to The Valley...

    There have been some good ones over the years.

    Cool, like Green, hoping we can sign him on a perm

    Could the tunnel jump be the cause of our injury problems? 😉

    I always thought it was Chris Powell after the FA Cup win at Coventry at the old Highfield Road ground in 2000

    Maybe we need a hall of fame? Certainly Powell (even when he was playing for Watford, which was odd!) Elliot, Holland used the do it. Holland also used to applaud the crowd irrespective of the result. Wish more players did that.

    Kins was the double fist pump to the covered end, Powell started the tunnel jump and it has never stopped. With out injury record I am surprised nobody has broken a leg doing it.

    It’s a Chris Powell creation. A great tradition that will be going for many, many years.

    Very much kept alive by Rob Elliott , once Powell left! 

    Did Jackson do it for a while too?

    Would make sense, then the Covered End added to it by making the preparatory ‘noise’.

    These players seem a lot more keen on the tunnel jump than they used to be. 

    Bought in, is the term I think.

    Possibly more noticeable because we are winning quite a lot of home games now.
    Poor old Charlie Kirk probably never got many chances to do a tunnel jump and if he did, wouldn't have been running fast enough to get off the ground.
