My most impressive 'Idiot Eureka' moment was when (years late) I finally realised why the Loft's chant for Seaman was "Spunky, Spunky!" I'm not proud. My second most impressive was when I finally twigged that the Space Invaders Spaceships on the scoreboard were clapping hands. I'm really not proud. | ![](/images/avatars/1570.gif) |

My memory is that “GOAL” which stretched out was only for the away team and “VVVVVVV” was for QPR... always annoyed me as I preferred the “GOAL” one. There was the rare occasion when a hat trick was scored (I think) and there was a rocket going into a goal? | ![](/images/avatars/25446.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Probably not as embarrassing as Michael Wale doing an interview with him when he first joined and asking the question "So David, why have the lads given you the nickname Harry?" The look on Seamans face was along the lines of 'are you kidding me?' It would have been nice to have seen Michael's face when the light bulb lit up. | ![](/images/avatars/9990.gif) |

Possibly due to having Had A Few, reading this has made me wonder why, for years, I have accepted the phrase Jumbo-Tron as meaning anything. WTF does it mean? An elephant with an 80s video game film?

JumboTron was trademarked by Sony in the 80’s when they started making these big sports screens. | ![](/images/avatars/1466.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
