Bananas and monkey chants have been ugly tools of racists at football grounds for decades.
So when a banana was heaved onto the pitch during a League Two match between Wimbledon and Port Vale at Kingsmeadow,
it could have been yet another racial incident to offer a depressing reminder of how much still needs to be done to eradicate this blight on the game.
Instead, it was just an angry 74-year-old throwing fruit at a white referee.
Dubbed "Britain's oldest football hooligan" by The Sun, the elder fan hit referee Graham Scott with a banana during the 2-2 draw.
Though Scott seemed to get a chuckle out of the matter, the supporter was arrested after the match using TV footage before he could escape on his motorized scooter.
HOOLIGANS!
