I threw a blind, homeless child with a limp off the upper tier of the covered end once because he was eating his crisps too noisily during a break in play.
Not proud of it and I'd like to think I'd act differently these days but we've all done silly things we regret when we were young.
Apple cores from the really steep area at the back of the old east terrace during numerous half times as a child. Was trying to reach the pitch side track but often failed, so if you received a soggy apple core on the back of the head in the mid 70s I am truly sorry!!
Threw a pint glass at the telly in a oub when Tasotti broke Luis Enrique's nose in the world cup back in 94. Dirty Italian cunt. Was also one of the catalogue chuckers against Leicester.
The only think I've thrown at a game was paper confetti which made a real mess and landed on my head ans went down the inside of my jacket and was still falling out when I got home.
Think it was early seventies...the old half time scoreboard, that used to stand just up from where the screen is now, was falling apart, so a couple of kids in their early teens decided to frisby the square plywood numbers down the East terrace. The first couple landed harmlessly on the empty terraces (lots of gaps in those days) but you just knew someone would get hurt. Just as an adult was walking towards them to stop them, one of the kids threw another one resulting in a very frail and old man being hit in the back. Although very shaken he soldiered on and watched the first half out, only to collapse just before the restart and taken away by ambulance. I never saw him again and was so upset I didnt go to another game for months.
ive been thinking of starting a new tradition of throwing saveloy sausages onto the pitch when charlton win (home or away) as a sign of affection and joy at winning, a real treat for boys... watch this space!
Years ago at Upton Park with some mates, we tried to frisbee some abandoned burgers at Fat Frank when he was taking a corner. None of us even cleared the advertising boards.
There was a game couple seasons ago where a few people were throwing bog roll and the reaction on here was so OTT it was hilarious.
It's fine laughing about it now mate but aside from the obvious paper cut threats IF someone had thrown a flare at EXACTLY the same time it would have been absolute barbarianism, what with mildly singed bog roll causing scenes not witnessed since the blitz.
F****ing carnage would have ensued and the folly of yoof would've been laughing on the other side of their acned boat races.
But for the grace of God were we spared such kerfuffle on that fateful day. I can't so much look at a kleenex without getting flashbacks and that trauma has therefore ruined my "private moments".
Shocking behaviour and the biggest loser is football. Not in my name.
Razil's flag at Villa Park, also unintentionally broke a seat that day standing on it - so threw something and broke a seat - I am the prime suspect in the case of the phantom Millwall chair chucker

Threw about ten newspapers worth of shredded paper at Old Trafford in the FA cup game up there.
Threw a blokes trainer down the front of the North Bank at Upton park when we played Cambridge there (1991 I think) as he had a west ham shirt on.
Bloke next to me threw his cigerattes and lighter at Paul Dickov when he played for Blackburn at the valley (missed him though).
