Not sure what possessed this fan to do this, can someone who knew him explain his actions? We're lucky this didn't escalate because the player reacted (I think quite justifiably)... Saying that, he came over to take another throw a few moments later and despite getting more abuse from the same fan, just smiled and got on with it... Embarrassing for this fan who then started to react to others like a little child who had been told off!

I was sat behind our lady fan and saw everything. Folk around me were saying he was well known in Wrexham and had caused trouble before. Quite like the way the ref pulled their player 15 yds up the field and away from the area where he had been tackled by the fellow. Must have told him that it was retaliation and to calm down but didn't book him . Our lady fan( won't name her but she never misses a match home or away) rightly shouted out to him that the club could get fined for his actions and it developed into a bit of a slanging session not much more. Big smile on his face throughout ( been on the beer perhaps),he sloped away past the loos with his tail between his legs.
