74-year-old fan arrested for throwing banana at referee during Wimbledon match

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.

From The Sun:

A third Green Street film is coming out later this year. Hopefully it stars Clint Eastwood and Maggie Smith.
