Dog
During England's quarter-final with Brazil at the 1962 World Cup there was a pitch invasion of the canine variety. A few minutes into the match a stray dog came onto the field, and proved even harder to tackle than Pele. After escaping the advances of Brazilian goalkeeper Gilmar and then Garrincha, Jimmy Greaves stepped in. The England striker got down on all fours before wrestling the dog to the ground and handing it over to the officials. But during the incident, the dog urinated all over Greaves and he was forced to play the rest of the match smelling of dog wee. Legend has it that Brazil star Garrincha found the incident so amusing, he later adopted the dog. You can watch the footage by clicking here.
