The football fans appear to be winding each other up at first with pushing and shoving.

But thugs from both sides then begin throwing punches at each other dangerously close to the train tracks.

As more pile in, one man is knocked out cold to the ground as the woman filming gasps.

A bystander then comes rushing over to move him on to his side.

Despite the unconscious fan lying on the station platform, the melee continues to rumble on.

The video was posted on Twitter account @FBAwayDays with the caption: "A Wigan Athletic fan was knocked out cold by a Sheffield United fan yesterday…".

It is not clear who all the fans supported or if there have been any arrests.

One viewer tweeted: "So avoidable and incredibly dangerous near the train tracks."

Another wrote: "This is one of the most pathetic things I’ve ever seen."

While one person fumed: "This is appalling. It's only a game but taking it too far for some can lead to this.

"A caught-up bystander could have fallen on the tracks as well."

The fight came as promotion-chasing Sheffield United beat Wigan, who are currently bottom of the Championship, 1-0.

The Sun Online has contacted British Transport Police and South Yorkshire Police for comment.
