It's the most famous football pitch fight in English history, ask any English football fan about a particular fight they remember on the football pitch they will be sure to bring this one up. It should have been kept to children's books, you know the tales of the big bad wolf trying to huff and puff and blow down the three little pigs houses.
But on one match day for Bristol City and Wolverhampton Wanderers fan's in the 90's they got a real life version of the popular kids nursery rhyme. Wolves mascot big wolfy managed to get himself into a tussle with three little pigs who were guest mascots hired from an outside company.
No one ever knew exactly what caused them to brawl until they all appeared on national tv to explain themselves. Still many fans don't actually know the real story behind it.
Watch what happens next and how it started in this archived video...
There was actually 2 fights that happened, one was caught on camera but another happened off camera. It was funny to see the real life men behind the mascots and how bemused they all were to appear on national tv to explain the fight.
