Yes, I agree Ryan Broom demonstrating his swimming prowess takes a bit of beating.

Funniest Argyle moment

Forgive me for not being Argyle related,but my favourite shout from the crowd was at Wimbledon many years ago when a player had collapsed just after receiving a hard volley straight into his testicles. Brought tears to the eyes just watching. Towards the end of a very long delay receiving treatment, a wag near me shouted ‘new balls please’.
I remember back in about 1997/1998/1999 (i cant remember when) there was an announcement in the program about language, swearing etc and at one point the Devonport was singing "if you like a lot o'swearing in your football join our club...." (to the tune of the old Club biscuit advert, "if you like a lotta chocolate in your biscuit join our Club")
it was absolutely, brilliantly original.

Not strictly Argyle but Home Park related. Back in the 70’s me and my Dad were queuping to get in to watch England under 23’s v Bulgaria when a policeman came over to us and about 20 other people and asked us to follow him. We were escorted into the ground and asked to get on board the Bulgarian team coach , apparently it had been driven through the gates to let the players off but when the driver went to reverse out he could‘nt get under the bar above the gate. We all got on the bus with the weight clearing the gates and reversed out side, we then rejoined our places in the queue which had been held for us by the police.
Naievly I had hoped we were being let in free

You beat me to it, the whole crowd creased up when the physio went down as if he had been hit by a sniper 🤣
There was a game at Cheltenham about 10 years ago that had an amusing incident.
Cheltenham were on the attack and one of their players (I don't know his name) shouted for his team mate (again I don't know who but let's call him Smiffy) to pass to him but his voice was very high pitch which made the Green Army laugh and from that point onwards we shouted out 'Smiffy' in a very high pitch voice. The player wasn't amused.
So funny but I guess you had to be there.

The time the fan in a wheelchair. Jumped up and ran around to celebrate to celebrate a goal at Argyle.
I believe it was a set up but a great surprise!

It's on Matchday Moments somewhere but it was when we had the wooden dugouts. An opposition player (think it was Northampton) came sprinting across the pitch and leathered the ball into our dugout followed by the player as the momentum carried him in there and just as quickly he was bundled out.
Don't remember the match at all.

I still chuckle at Trigger’s free kick goal vs Swindon when he took it quickly deflecting of the keeper (I think) and in. I still don’t think he realised it was an indirect free kick!
Not hilarious, but always makes me smile when I remember it.
Late Eighties in the Mayflower enclosure, very near where the Evergreen fanzine lads (Dave, Dom et al) used to stand. Argyle on the attack near us, but the ref then judges we have fouled one of their players. Fair enough decision probably, but certainly a little bit soft.
After the initial groan and "FFS ref!" etc have died down and all is quiet, one of the Evergreen group (not D or D), a mild-mannered gentleman not given to shouting abuse at refs at all, uncharacteristically let the frustration get the better of him. The free kick has not yet been taken and the ref is easily within earshot.
"Referee, you are biased" he shouts loudly.
Followed by a beautifully appropriately lengthed pause of a few seconds as he was presumably reflecting upon what he had just exclaimed, and whether it was actually true.
Followed it up with an equally loud
"And so am I"
The timing was perfect.
Such self awareness is rarely encountered at football matches.

55 years going to home park so quite a few moments ,most stuck in my 71 year old memory ,one I can recall was I think in the 1970s,we were playing Blackpool and 2 nil down at halftime,a guy used to play a bugle most games anyway,he played the “last post “my dad and I thought it was hilarious another one happened last season my son and I were in our usual block 1 seats ,Argyle were awful ,something happened near DP end goal (a poor referee decision AGAIN)and someone threw a pasty (still in bag)at the goal in landed in the 6 yard box I thought YEP ! That’s apt being in pasty land! By the way we came back to draw2-2 with Blackpool !
