    Biggest wind-up merchant: Luis Fernandez
    The tension between New Money club PSG and working-class immigrant team Olyimpique Marseilles makes the Old Firm matches look like a relaxed charity match between friendly nuns. It takes a lot of planning by French police to stop baseball bat fights, stabbings and similar hate-filled aggro taking centre stage.

    But, all of the preparation in the world is wasted if someone connected with either team goes maverick and winds up the travelling fans. So when PSG scored in the home match against OM their manager Lanky Luis Fernandez’s decision to do a high-energy dance on the pitch didn’t please the away fans.

    In the return match in the south of France, it’s fair to say Fernandez needed a hell of a lot of police protection from OM yobs who threatened to kill him. Not since Footloose has one man’s jig had such an impact.
