HARRY KEWELL was held back by security and his own players as an angry confrontation with fans threatened to boil over entirely.
The Crawley boss went over to talk to allegedly "abusive" supporters following his side's 4-0 defeat at Wycombe.
But the scene soon turned ugly with the former Leeds and Liverpool forward reportedly having to be pulled away by his players after security intervened.
Speaking afterwards, Kewell said: "Look, I'm not a shy person. I'll confront anybody.
"I said at the start that if you have a problem you can always come up and ask me but, you know what, just leave it, because you're never going to win."
One person who claimed to be in the crowd alleged that Kewell "came over with a red face" shouting "F off".

The same account said: "Kewell just scrapped with our fans. He has to go now. Unbelievable decision."
A fellow Twitter user wrote: "Following the final whistle, Crawley boss Harry Kewell went over to confront some abusive supporters and ended up being ushered away by stewards before it could turn ugly."
Another account said: "Harry Kewell heads down the touchline to confront some supporters after the final whistle, having to be pulled away by his players."
And anger was the general feeling towards Kewell, 39, at least according to what Crawley fans were saying online.
One said in a post in which Kewell was tagged: "Jump before you're pushed, no one wants you here. You've lost the dressing room and you've lost the fans, and you're out of your depth. Embarrassing."
Another wrote: "He is clueless. Plays wingers as strikers, doesn't play the best players and likes to fight fans. Please, take him off our hands."
