Socks
Liverpool supporters goaded their city rivals Everton by throwing socks onto the pitch in 2009. Rather than unwanted Christmas presents, Liverpool supporters were having a dig at the Toffee's proposed move to Kirkby on the outskirts of Liverpool - a mainly working class area where residents are sometimes derided as 'sock-robbers'. This is a rather cruel reference to the way that burglars from the area allegedly put socks over their hands to avoid leaving behind finger-prints.
