Away to Rochdale in the FA Cup, 2002/03 Season. Dale were in League 2 at the time and we were still in the Champ. We had been on a 10 game unbeaten run prior to the match (can you imagine!)
Went with my 2 Dale supporting best mates and against my better judgement i agreed to stand in the Sandy Lane end with all the Dale fans. We got humbled 2-0 and played appallingly but in one rare moment of decent football Dean Holdsworth was through on goal with a virtually open net. I started celebrating before he'd even took the shot, totally forgetting where i was, only to see him scuff it horribly wide. I was lucky that the only abuse i got that day was verbal. My two so called mates still bring it up regularly............... bell ends.
As an aside i believe that was also Morten Hyldgaard's last game for us.

This didn't happen to me, but it just flew into my head: the Newcastle game in 1996, my dad went arse over tit down the steps in the main stand; he was possibly the last fan to arrive, he was pissed up and eating a steak and kidney Pukka Pie.
Woosh, head first, then he vanished behind some supporters in their seats, suddenly his confused face pops up, bright red and with bits of pastry and steak streaked up his head.
Never seen so many people laughing at the same time, but yes, I was probably more embarrassed than him.

Not embarrassed at a game but later. My son and I went to see City play a pre season friendly at Shrewsbury a few years ago. We got caught out by the fact that this was the new Shrewsbury ground which we hadn't realised was in the middle of no where with no parking around. I think we were the second game ever to be held there as our friendly followed on from one against Man City. After finding somewhere to park and walking back to the ground we actually got in a few minutes after kick off. The game progressed and City went 2-0 up until Shrewsbury got a late goal back. A good 2-1 win. I spoke to several people the next day about the game stating that we had won. It was only when I saw the Telegraph that night and saw that Shrewsbury had scored in the first few minutes that the truth dawned and I realised we had in fact drawn.

Couple of months ago sat down in my seat at the Ricoh and realized I was sitting next to Grendel.

Yes, the chicken curry abomination at the Ricoh is rubbish. I think the chicken balti pies at HR were either Shires or Pukka.

When we scored against Millwall at the game we lost there under Boothroyd (3-1 defeat in late Aug/ early Sept 2010, I think, Gunnar got the goal for us to pull it back to 2-1. Westwood dropped due to refusing to sign a new contract, some fans giving stick to Iain Turner in goal who was on loan from Everton and who didn't do much wrong, just coz he was in for Westie)
Anyway, when our goal goes in it was right in front of us (albeit we were in the upper tier). Gunnar had been put through so we'd all been in anticipation anyway. The away end at the Den is steep and we were jumping about so much and grabbing each other, i lost my balance and physically fell into the row in in front, then had to be hauled back up by multiple people, like a fool. Got a few bruises out of it for good measure. And yes, we had been on the lash beforehand!

This didn't happen to me but I am sure the lad involved was doubly embarrassed.
I went with a friend to the FA Vase final at Wembley in 1983 to watch VS Rugby totally outplayed by Halesowen yet steal a 1-0 win. We were in the end and afterwards we walked through the coach park to find another friend who had come down by coach with the goalscorers Ian Crawley's family. We walked through a few disgruntled Halesowen fans and a young lad of about 14 decided he wanted to fight us and began by launching a flying kick at my friend from behind but my friend saw him and he missed and crashed ungracefully on the floor. To add insult to injury his dad saw what he did and marched over, apologised to us, picked his son off the floor, gave him a slap and dragged him back to the coach.

I was at the match too. My pal played for VS and I organised a coach from work for 50 of us to go see them. They did steal the win.

Mine was a couple of seasons ago, Leyton Orient at home, midweek game. We lost 1-0, Henderson was up front for them, and I can't stand him. Imagine my delight when he signed for us.
Anyway, the ball came for a goal kick and in a deathly quiet moment Henderson ran from what I thought was an offside position to win the ball, I stood up and screamed at the top of my voice 'he's fucking offside!' and sat down again, only for the guy next to me to remind me that you can't be offside from a goal kick.
I still cringe when thinking about it. I imagine I've done way worse but this sticks with me for some reason.

September 96' walking away from HR after a 2.1 win v Leeds.
Me and a few mates had gone to Strikers bar after the game to see the results come in and a couple of pints.
We came out in a good spirits after our win and most of the crowd were long gone. Beautiful sunny day it was.
Heading back to Far Gosford Street and there's these 2 tarts on a street corner. One is minging and the other is fit as fuck in a leather jacket and mini skirt.
I jokingly shouts "how much love?" thinking i was being a smart arse, when the minging one says "no fucking time wasters!" i says "i wasnt fucking talking to you!"
with that she comes tottering over in her high heels fist waving going mental. I just kind of froze and she runs up swinging her over the shoulder handbag and clouts me with it right on the bonce.
Well fuck me the next thing i remember im groggy as fuck and peeling myself off the road. My mates are falling about the place absolutely pissing themselves.
I was sparked out for about 30 seconds they reckoned. I think she must have had a fucking house brick in that bag cos i had one of those Tom and Jerry lumps on my head for about a week.
That taught me.

Mine is playing. Making my first start in a good standard of Saturday league football as a 17-year-old during a pre-season friendly against a Semi-Pro team. Teammate decided to put Deep Heat inside my goalie gloves and everyone was in bits when I cottoned on and sprinted to the sink to get it off. Another one then pulled my shorts down as we shook hands with the opposition, with my under armour going with it. Not my proudest moment.

Not really an embarrassing moment, but a funny one. I remember being at the Sunderland match, start of the 04-05 season, Tim Sherwood had just joined and as the players were warming up he came over to the side of the pitch so I asked him for a photo. He put his arm on my shoulder, my mate took the pic and he trotted off. I took the camera from my mate to see the pic, only to find no pic. I asked my mate what had happened, only for him to say "I don't know how your camera works" - I asked him why not ask me, he said "I didn't want to look a tw@t in front of Tim Sherwood."
I'm gutted because as we all remember, Sherwood became a Sky Blues legend, captaining us to a triumphant return to the Premier League as Peter Reid delivered Mike McGinnity's demand for 'instant success'. Oh, no, hang on, the other thing...
