In the past I've read, or been told, about a few Spanish clubs that have supporters that act like gorillas whenever a black player is substituted in or touches the ball. I've also gathered they will go as far as throwing bananas on the pitch in more extreme cases.

From my understanding, there are two Spanish clubs that have a large portion of white supremacist fans, and these fans are the ones performing the disrespectful actions during matches.

Is anyone familiar with this practice? I'd really appreciate an article about this, as up until now any accounts of the practice have been limited to online discussion forums; and I'd prefer an actual article from a credible source.
