Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher faces an FA investigation after apparently lunging at fans after Sunday's FA Cup tie at Luton.
The Reds star reacted angrily to taunts from eight Luton supporters wearing curly black wigs and yellow shellsuits like the bickering Scousers from '90s comedy show Harry Enfield's Television Programme.
Like the TV characters, they urged him to "calm down" as he jogged round the pitch with teammates at Kenilworth Road.
They also hurled remarks about midfielder John Arne Riise's ginger hair.
Ex-England player Carragher first shouted at the fans, who were in a box on the terraces, from the pitch. But then he leapt up a fence to confront them.
Carragher, 29, screamed obscenities and yelled: "Come on – let's have it!" Security guards had to drag him away.
Luton fan Michael Sapsford, who was in the box, told The Sun: "This is a Premiership star behaving like a thug.
"He couldn't cope with banter in good spirits that hundreds of other players put up with every week."
No complaint was made after the game – attended by new England boss Fabio Capello. - but a Luton FC spokesman said: "There was a problem being investigated by our safety officer."
