5 things you never thought you'd see thrown on a football pitch

#5 Pig\'s Head

Figo will remember this game for a long time

Some men change their names.Some men change their nationalities.But no one, literally no one ever crosses the Great Clasico divide. It's like marrying your partner's brutal murderer.

In the year 2000, as the world heralded a new millennium, Luis Figo did the unthinkable and signed for his Catalan side's bitter rivals Real Madrid. Barcelona fans were incensed and they made their feelings very clear

When he finally returned to the Camp Nou two years later, he found the vociferous hatred far from abated. Bottles, coins, insults and jeers were hurled at him. Captain Carles Puyol did his level best to keep things cool but this time, the fans wouldn't listen to him. As Figo lined up a corner, one particularly furious fan did the unimaginable. Presumably pulling it out of his back pocket like any good cartoon character (because how on Earth did he smuggle it in), the fan tossed an entire pig's head at him!

The moment has become an iconic symbol of the incredible rivalry between the two Spanish giants, and a message for whoever dared to do the same in the future.
