Dog/Bitch on pitch! Ok, not very news worthy but he/she was somebody's treasure and just shows every club that they should be prepared with dog handlers and nets. During a National Football League game at Gori in Georgia, the goalkeeper with gloves, seemed to be appropriately dressed but the attempted dislocation of the dog's front legs did not seem a very good idea. It took about 3 minutes to sort out and actually I'm not sure the incident was concluded.

Other invasions are included here and poor old Chick Brodie of Gillingam, Aldershot (having completed his National service, he stayed in the home of the British Army), Wolves, Northampton, Brentford, and was put out of the game (for ever) in 1970 by this shocking tackle in his penalty area against Colchester. Damage to his knee ligaments put pay to his playing career.

Chick made a return to playing ending up at Margate in the Southern league and was in goal against Bournemouth in the FA Cup in November 1971, when his team lost 0-11. Bad back?
A Scot born in 1937 in Duntocher, he made over 400 appearances in the Football League.
He died in April 2000 after suffering prostate cancer.
