I believe the incident being referred to happened in a Doncaster v Runcorn fixture at Tattersfield (but time does play tricks). IIRC it was really more a slap than an attack (not that it makes it any less wrong).

Sing a song of Yorkshire, from the Humber to the Tees Of cricket, rugby, beer, of pudding and of cheese I know no other county where the land is quite so fine England's lovely county. And I'm proud to call it mine
Where shining purple heather stretches far across the moor And the lapwing's cry above me takes the place of traffic roar And peace comes drifting gently, there's no place I'd rather be Than this land of hills and valleys, from the Pennines to the sea
So when I've done my roaming, and when my step grows slow When heart and mind assure me that the time has come to go Then let me rest in Yorkshire, for its there I want to lie 'Neath sun and wind and heather... and a gleaming Yorkshire sky
there's alot of rubbish going around in this thread isn't there.
If queens do get thrown out of the competition like a lot of you are saying the surely doncaster should be too. the queens fans wasn't fighting themselves.
