Frank Rijkaard spits at Rudi Völler’s curly mullet during the 1990 World Cup in Italy

The German shows it to the referee, to which Rijkaard reacts by pulling the German’s hair. This time Völler gets a yellow card.

Afterwards Rijkaard intervenes once again, pulls Völler’s ear and spits again, this time hitting the striker in the neck. After a near punch-up between the two, both are sent off.

On his way to the dressing room Rijkaard runs past Völler - and spits again.
In the catacombs the Dutchman reportedly grabbed the German by the throat and a brief fistfight followed.

Germany, meanwhile, ends up winning the game.
