THE WHEELCHAIR RESPONSE TEAM

My first City game was in 1987 and today I seen the funniest thing I have ever witnessed at a football match.

I was in section J3 row A.

When Campbell scored his first goal, a wheelchair bound lad, who was in front of me during the game, probably aged 16 or 17, wheeled himself to the hoardings some 20 yards away, the stewards came running towards him (maybe thinking he was invading the pitch), when he reached the electronic hoarding he stood out of his chair (clearly had a disability of his legs) and proceeded to fall flat on his side whilst celebrating, the lad is a hero in my mind, his desire and determination knew no bounds but equally the funniest thing I have ever seen.

His old man wheeled him back to his position shouting 'put the f@&£ing breaks on' but the kid had already been given legend status by the City fans behind him.

And again when Campbell got his second, he was off again.

His father was a funny guy too, saying "never mind armed response, we will have the wheelchair response team if you carry on!"

I am not mocking the kid but celebrating what he did. If any of you seen it will understand what was so funny without it being a piss take. I have nothing but respect for the kid.

Good to see him enjoying himself. Was this the kid who got Campbells top at the end of the game?

Spot on Carl, certainly not a case of laughing at him but with him. The lad was a character as was his dad and wanted to celebrate with everyone.
What a legend, but simply the most random and funniest thing I've ever seen at football

i saw this the kid looked like he was having the time of his life!

Another highlight was during the pre match beach balling. It went towards the pitch and a city fan jumped over the advertising towards the pitch and proceeded to lie on it like a Swansea ball boy.
Followed by chants of "you jack b*stard"
