A horse in a field by Tankersley Old Hall, the Kes building where he gets the bird. I was there photographing the ruin for English Heritage. Had treated the old nag to some fruit from my back pack & it started nudging me for more. I can normally chill out a regular horse, but it insisted. I backed off, it followed. Broke into a trot, then a canter making some right racket. I legged it & it with a very expensive camera around my neck, the popo galloping. Dove over a dry stone wall & looked back to see the mightiest of erections, nearly touching the grass. I suspect it had more in mind than another apple.. Oh & the time some daft copper at Oakwell allowed West Ham into West Stand Lower & they decided to charge the Ponty. Lost my best Ronnie Glavin badge in the rush.
Me and a mate were trainspotting in Leeds (1969 ish, I was 13) we were walking out of Holbeck locoshed when this little lad came up to us and asked if we'd been beaten up by a gang of lads. When we said no, he said "I'll tell 'em, then" and ran off. 5 minutes later this gang of about 6 big lads came round the corner and chased us all the way back to Leeds Central station. Probably the fastest I've ever run in my life....
A bloody swan, walked around the nest keeping well away, although it was against the edge of the path, when suddenly ah heard a frightening whooooshin sound and looked round to see it coming , head down and wings spread....luckily I got in the trees Also had a ruck with the Grimsby fans in the 70's, one of mi first at football, Bstard pulled a knife and was chasing me round the pile of srappin bodies at far end of West stand, luckily a Reds fan decked him as he passed.....scared sh*tless
My mate once had a poo in the sea on a lads holiday many moons ago and it chased 6 of us back to shore.
The way I see it is there’s only 3 directions for their hate to go as it’s the sea in the other direction.
A pregnant sow at my uncle's smallholding. I took a short cut over the edge of its field and it objected most strongly. Never seen such a nasty looking gobful of teeth. Managed to hop over the gate before it sank them into me.
Geese are right ********. Was chased by an alligator in Florida that had young 'uns. They can move a bit. After outrunning the fecker I shouted "see you later alligator, in a while crocodile", just to rub it in.
Also on high ground with my Rack Russell; cows. If you bang your foot on the ground though they back off, but pretty scary. They are big fookers.
It was a very weird day. A few thousand Barnsley fans went to watch the football and have a good day out. I dare say a couple of dozen or so also wouldn't have minded a bit of fisticuffs. I don't pretend we haven't got some numpties amongst us. But there were a few hundred Grimsby fans that went out that day to kill some Barnsley fans. Actually murder us in cold blood. With broken bottles, corner flags, samurai swords, almost anything that came to hand. The only game that probably comes close is the Birmingham game in the play-offs. But they just wanted to give Barnsley fans a good kicking rather than actually kill them.
