Fan in wheelchair hilariously invading pitch goes viral after last-minute winner in Turkish third division

A fan in a wheelchair has gone viral for invading the pitch after Gebzespor scored a last-minute winner to beat Inegol Kafkasspor in a Turkish third division clash.

An exciting, end-to-end game saw Gebzespor come back from 2-1 down to beat title rivals Inegol Kafkasspor 4-3 to move up to second in the league. Batuhan Altinas was the hero after scoring a hat-trick - including a last-minute winner - to spark wild scenes inside the Alaettin Kurt Stadium.

Altinas wheeled away in celebration and was joined by his teammates after taking his shirt off. Footage also captured fans streaming onto the pitch to celebrate the players, with one particular supporter stealing the show in a viral clip.

Fan in wheelchair goes viral after invading pitch to celebrate last-minute winner

In a one-minute, nine-second video posted to Reddit, a fan in a wheelchair was seen soaking in the celebrations after invading the pitch, raising his arm in excitement and receiving huge praise for the heartwarming moment.

"There is never a boring day in Turkish football," one commenter wrote in response, while a second posted: "I don't know what I expected, but it was funny, heartwarming and inspiring."

"I’m honestly just so pumped for him. Hope his tyres got to spin. Also hope he had enough battery to evade security," someone else hilariously replied.

"Who said disabled people can't invade the pitch? I love this game," a fourth stated.

Gebzespor are now just one point behind Elazigspor at the top of the White Group table, five points above Inegol Kafkasspor, galvanising their title push.

Most iconic pitch invasions in football

A fan invading the pitch in a wheelchair ranks among the most iconic pitch invasions ever. In 2012, John Foley interrupted Everton’s then-goalless draw against Manchester City after handcuffing himself to the goalposts carrying a laminated mask of Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary’s face.

The protest was against his daughter’s apparent unfair dismissal from the budget airline. Foley, who had previously pulled a similar stunt at the Cheltenham Gold Cup Festival, was later banned from all sporting events for three years.

Australia’s Central Coast Stadium, meanwhile, witnessed a man with an apparent broken leg saunter onto the pitch at Central Coast Mariners’ ground. Donning a moon boot and a pair of crutches, as well as an Aussie cricket shirt, the man in question headed straight for the goalmouth area where opposing Sydney FC fans were sitting behind.

He goaded them for nearly a minute before finally being escorted away by the officials to join the list of most bizarre pitch invasions.

Last but not least, a Conference Premier game between Salisbury City and Chester made the headlines in 2013 when a parachutist was forced to make a very public emergency landing. The uninvited guest, who was apparently an experienced skydiver taking part in a charity event, didn’t appear too embarrassed by his unusual entrance to the Raymond McEnhill Stadium.

He hilariously spent several minutes high-fiving some of the 900-strong crowd before being escorted from the ground.
