Reminds Me of the Man Utd fan who fell through the roof at Carrow Rd in the mid 70's....

Fall was (luckily) broken by City fans below. As he was being lowered onto a stretcher pitchside, a lady leans over the barriers and starts hitting him with her handbag....

True story, and probably only slightly embellished over the years.
