The incident was sparked after Wrexham striker Paul Mullin was fouled by Alex Cochrane near the halfway line.

Mullin ended up on top of Cochrane and looked as if he was about to bite the defender after opening his mouth on top of his leg.

However, at the last minute he refrained from sinking his teeth into the opponent.

Another Birmingham star Krystian Bielik also got involved as Mullin got to his feet, and he began pushing the forward.

The pair grabbed one another by the shirt as Bielik continued to inflame the situation by pushing Andy Cannon.

Soon almost every player on the pitch was involved including Wrexham's James McClean, who was booked for his involvement.

Bielik was shown a second yellow card four minutes later and sent for an early bath after mistiming a lunge on Cannon.

But Birmingham fans appeared to love the fracas and Brady, who is a minority owner of the club, was seen applauding in response.

However, one fan crossed the line by throwing what appeared to be a cup of Bovril towards former Premier League bad boy James McClean.

The ex-West Brom star then responded in surprising fashion by taking a sip from the cup.

And as he was subbed off, he added fuel to the fire by making an X-rated gesture towards the home fans.

However it was the Blues supporters who had the last laugh as their side came from behind to win 3-1 with record-breaking signing Jay Stansfield scoring twice.
