I remember that Huddersfield game. I was there with my best mate Roger. At one point Peter Withe, once of Villa, missed a sitter and a cry went up 'Withe! Retire!' Which was quite harmless, innocent and included no swearing whatsoever but was just the funniest, plaintive heckle ever. As besties, Roger and I obviously doubled over, cackling.

I remember going to Tranmere one night when Frank Worthington RIP was player/manager for them.

We were alongside their tunnel and as he came out we were giving him both barrels: 'You're too old, Frank! Retire! Pack it in!' etc.

He just laughed, shook his head and replied: 'You're never too old, lads.'

Not long after that, they fired him and a week later he signed for . . . Preston North End.

At the age of 38.

Turns out, he wasn't too old after all. 😊

That goal at home v Wolves. Bedlam in the West Stand Paddock.

I love that. The simple, most innocent heckles are the best. That Worthington one was and IS pure North End.
Another fave of mine was when Sven was manager of Derby County. We played them at home and a wag in the Invincibles yelled 'Sven! Sven! Get your bloody hair cut!' which, again, was utterly clean and polite in football fan parlance, but was the funniest heckle I'd ever heard and the crowd responded in laughter.
Ones aimed at Nigel Clough ( for being small) were similarly hilarious. 'Clough, Clough! How far away are you??!!' Cloughie took it in good heart til 5 mins from the end when he turned and gave the fan a double barrel mouthful.
I still laugh today.
