[April 26, 2014] After Zagłębie Lubin lost 1-0, a fan climbed onto a fence waving a lit flare. A security officer sprayed him with pepper spray, and the aerosol propellant ignited with the open flame, setting the fan on fire. The fan managed to escape with minimal injuries.

"Executioner" style leather football helmet worn during the late 1920s + early 1930s.
They were frequently worn by players recovering from severe broken noses or facial fractures. The style was quickly abandoned as it severely restricted a player's peripheral vision + breathing.
