Oh dear, is this the world's oldest pitch invader? Lol...


In our innocent course of watching this beautiful game, we have faced abuse from pitch invaders of all manner of shapes, sizes and colours. Clothed and naked. They come on for different reasons, to attack opponents, officials and even in some cases, there own players. Others come to express their 'love' to their superstars.

But this, I feel, is slightly unique, really.

Just after League Two club Plymouth, scored a last gasp goal against Portsmouth during a playoff yesterday, there was a mass pitch invasion.
However, after the crowd cleared, there was person remaining: An elderly man with his zimmer frame.

The nearest explanation I can think of is that perhaps the pensioner did not intentionally invade the pitch, maybe he just accidentally stumbled on during the confusion. But one thing's for sure, the fans absolutely loved him and they sure cheered him on. Watch...


One onlooker said: "We could not believe what we were seeing, but the crowd erupted and loved every second of it.

"He did not cover the field very quickly, but he was not being stopped.

"The stewards seemed happy to allow him his moment in the spotlight as the crowd lapped it up."

"He was obviously a passionate Plymouth fan and was clearly just loving the result and the fact his team were going to Wembley."

The man, who is clearly in his 80s, even managed to raise his hands to the crowd before departing. What a day it must have been for him...
