'A security guard was having to hold him back!': Rio Ferdinand recalls Sir Alex Ferguson's red mist after being hit by PIZZA after infamous Arsenal clash... but insists Cesc Fabregas wasn't aiming for the Man United boss

Between 1998 and 2004 Manchester United and Arsenal locked horns in some of the Premier League's most memorable battles.

In that time Manchester United won five league crowns while Arsene Wenger's Arsenal claimed three.

One of the most notable of those occasions became known as 'Pizzagate', famous in equal measure for Manchester United ending Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten streak in the league with a 2-0 victory at Old Trafford in October 2004 and the pizza-throwing incident.

It became known that an Arsenal player, later to be identified as a young Cesc Fabregas, launched a slice of pizza at Sir Alex Ferguson in a melee following the controversial afternoon in Manchester.
