Scouse-git-turned-Philly-scribe Steven Wells sells us out to his countrymen in an article for the Guardian on hooliganism here in the US of A. While his dentally challenged fellow Englishmen enjoy a hooligan career of fence-crushing and gobbing, he claims, it’s Philly fans that really put the hoo! in hooliganism:

In 1981, the Eagles faithful bombarded the visiting Dallas team with snowballs - some of which allegedly contained batteries. Ex-Philadelphia mayor and current Pennsylvania State governor (and fanatical Eagles fan) Ed Rendell is widely believed to have thrown the (battery-free) snowball that smacked the Dallas coach in the head - a story that Rendell has always denied but which has done nothing to damage his electability.

Hahaha. Ed Rendell is awesome.
