South America - Attack, Attack, Attache!
Another strange tale from Uruguay, this time in the 1930's. A Nacional player narrowly shooting wide of the post was very surprised to see the ball rebound on to the pitch after hitting a cameraman's briefcase which had been left behind the goal.
A team-mate reacted quickest, tucking the rebound into the net with the opposition protesting furiously. The unsighted referee awarded the goal, thinking the initial shot had hit the post!
