Former Fulham star Jamie O'Hara has been fined two weeks' wages by his new club Billericay Town.
O'Hara joined the Ryman League Premier Division club last month on an 18-month contract and has already had quite an impact on the pitch for the Blues.
He and his new team-mates caused quite a social media stir when they performed R Kelly's The World's Greatest prior to a game last week, although Leatherhead got their own back with their own imitation of the song following the win on Friday.
O'Hara's impact on Good Friday came off the pitch when, following Billericay's 3-2 defeat at the hands of Leatherhead, he was involved in an unsavoury incident with a group of fans.
The fans at Fetcham Grove taunted the former professional and O'Hara reacted with videos on social media showing the 30-year-old reacting angrily.
And the midfielder has been fined two weeks' wages for the incident.
Owner and manager Glenn Tamplin said in a statement: "As Jamie O'Hara, Paul Konchesky and I left the pitch after the game we began to receive a totally unprecedented level of abuse from gathering opposition fans.
"I was very disappointed to see that there was no protection provided by stewards or officials to grant us safe passage from the field and we were therefore directly confronted by the abusive 'fans'. The three of us were unsurprisingly concerned for our safety and this led to a regrettable incident where Jamie reacted by pushing away a fan because of the abuse of which included him being spat at and things thrown at him.
As a club and personally the reaction was wholly unacceptable and a most regrettable incident. As I intervened to pull Jamie away I was punched in the back of the head, which underlines the level of abuse and anger being directed towards us.
"As I stated previously Billericay Football Club doesn't condone any reaction to provocation, be it on or off the field, therefore we have deducted Jamie two weeks wages and made it very clear to him that any future incidents of a similar nature will lead to him being released from the club."
