From whiskey bottles to a pig's head... Football's worst fan missile incidents
Werder Bremen captain Frank Baumann is the latest football player to be the victim of a missile thrown by a fan - but he's far from the only one.
Baumann (33) was struck by a mobile phone battery lobbed from the stands in a vicious incident during Sunday's 'Nord Derby' in the Bundesliga at Hamburg.
The German Football Association (DFB) yesterday launched an investigation into the incident with Hamburg facing a huge fine if they are found guilty of failing to control their fans, although Baumann himself has decided not to press charges against the culprit.
He told BILD: “I don't have headaches anymore, only a light pressure pain.â€
Baumann has plenty of company when it comes to suffering the wrath of the fans in the shape of missiles. Everything from whiskey bottles to a pig's head has been chucked onto the pitch over the years.
