I remember reading in the late lamented WSAG how during a game for the RS in Eastern Europe the Anfield "Iron" was felled by a plastic bottle,I was a little sceptical but a couple of years ago I actually saw the footage on t'internet,it's actually hilarious Smithy is rolling around like a sniper has shot him,either the lino or ref walk over pick the "bottle" up,scrunch it up and cast it aside off the pitch

Best thing ever was Tommy Smith getting called in for a review on his disability benefits after taking a charity penalty at half time at a televised cup final?
Rumours were that the guy at the dwp was a blue and Smithy had reported on his claim that he couldn't walk.
