This thread reminds me of a home game back sometime in the early 80's, every home game we'd drive over on Saturday morning and park in the Stanley park car park and we used to have a kick about before the car park started filling up before going on for a pre match pint at the supporters club then in to the Kop for it opening at 1pm. This particular day, we finished playing and there was a group of young lads about 8 or 9 years old and they asked if they could borrow our ball, gave them the ball as it was only an old one I kept in the boot of the car and jokingly said "make sure you bring it back mind" as we walked off, never expecting to see it again. After the game and back to the car, it was dark so must have been winter time and there's this one young lad waiting by the car with the ball in his hand. "Brought your ball back mister" he says, felt a bit of a twat so I made all my mates chip in and we gave this young lad a pound note each (which shows how long ago it was), off he went in to the night with a handful of pound notes and I let him keep the ball.

Thats brilliant that.
