Watch: Greek owner attempts to confront referee while armed with a gun

Savvidis, who was a sergeant major in the Soviet Army, was restrained by bodyguards as he came close to the referee.

The owner of a leading Greek football club led a pitch invasion to confront a referee while apparently armed with a gun, writes Stephen Barry.

Ivan Savvidis, a Russian oligarch and former member of parliament with Vladimir Putin's United Russia party, marched onto the pitch after his side, PAOK, seemed to have a last-minute Fernando Varela goal disallowed for offside.
