Things that you've lost at a football ground

Was just thinking this morning when someone put Forest away was their favourite away game, that day I bought a new £350 pair of glasses (most expensive I've ever bought) and God knows how but from leaving the ground to getting in the car I lost them! Re-traced my steps, asked the stewards - nothing. I'd driven on my own and so had to squint driving at 50 mph all the way home (to this day not sure how I made it) and I called the City Ground a few times over the next few days but they were never found. So anyone else ever lost anything at a game?!
 
We once were in a bookies in Birmingham and I played the fruit machine and it paid out about £50 in £1 coins .. we scored early doors, went bananas and then watched as all my winnings flew out of my pocket all across the stand 😟
 
Lost some keys after jumping for joy when Trevor Finnigan( remember him) scored in a night match at home. Think it was against the Massive in a LG Cup game. Went to ground next day and found them on steps behind South Paddock goal where I was stood. Had a quick chat with a youth team player who was sweeping up with a broom. Wonder if he ever signed on as a pro?
 
Went to a game as a teenager with my Dad and a few of his work mates - got talked into going to the kiosk (think this was Tranmere away) and came back out with coffee's, teas, pies the lot - all balanced on one of those little cardboard trays... a goal goes in, I miss a step and I end up arse over tit falling down the stairs in front of thousands of fans getting a good scalding from the aforementioned drinks. So yeah - I lost my dignity !!
 
I lost my beautiful Irish patchwork shades of tangerine flat hat after the pre season friendly at Crewe.

Previously I left a rain jacket at Coventry, never to be seen again despite several e mails and phone calls.

Or... were you sent to Coventry?? 😄
 
Many years ago i had a date with a lass from the Devvy Rd area and we ended up in Stanley Park.She didn't disappoint after i bought her 10 fags.
 
I nearly lost my brief case full of audit work papers at an England game at the old Wembley back in the 70’s.
it was a full house and when England scored I was sent flying with said case leaving me too.
Luckily it was passed back after a few shouts for help.Would have been a difficult task to explain how I’d lost the papers had it not be returned.
 
Lost £50 at Stoke whilst buying a programme, the programme seller surreptitiously covered it up and pocketed it. A fellow fan must of seen what happened and accosted said programme seller and returned the money to me inside the ground. The bloke would not even take a pint as thanks!¬
 
Middle upper front tooth, at Fulham FA CUP 2013 a good start to the new year.

Before anyone asks it was an accident, sitting at the end of a row I stood up and moved onto the steps to let two guys in, unfortunately I tripped and ended up on the steps minus a front tooth. The two gents helped me up and asked if I was ok, which I was with the one exception.
 
When Ginge smashed in that 30 yarder at Preston I leapt up and saw my wallet fly out of my inside coat pocket and land about six rows forward! It was returned by some very kind and honest people.
 
A shoe , when shunted down the South Paddock after a goal surge.
I was 13 at the time, my shoes weren’t made for comfort then 😆
 
A roll of wallpaper. Leant it up on the South Paddock wall having purchased it on the way to the game back in the 80s and simply forgot it and walked home none the wiser. Woke up Sunday and thought sh.. !
 
Darts, train ticket home from an away match, fleece and about ten years ago the missus lost the diamond in her engagement ring. Believe it or not, it was there on the floor by her seat the following home game.
 
Tenner at arsenal away, asked the odds from the guy in the bookie stall, he laughed not many come away with anything from here, he was right 😂
