West Ham United's end of season Gala ended in chaos as Police were called after a fight erupted.
The disturbance was said to have started after one first team member - believed to be Senegalese striker Demba Ba - refused to sign an autograph, claiming he was 'too tired'.
Police were called to deal with the ensuing outbreak of violence which saw, according to reports, tables and chairs being used as weapons in a scene more suited to an old-school Western movie than an end-of-season dinner.
Fans had paid up to £250 each to attend the evening - ironically described by the club in promotional material as 'a simply unmissable evening' - which was hosted by TV personality Ben Shepherd.
