Video: Wojciech Szczesny's dad punches Roberto Mancini

Although we can all agree that Wojciech Szczesny is probably one of the crazier 'keepers that we can recall in recent years within the Premier League, he'll never trump his Mancini-punching father.

Ahead of tomorrow's crucial Premier League encounter between Arsenal and Manchester City, the fine folks over at Balls.ie found footage of a 1991 clash between now-City boss Roberto Mancini's Sampdoria and Szczesny Sr's Legia Warsaw.

Skip to 7.05 of the ten-minute clip above and you'll find that Maciej Szczesny has just let in a tame effort from a surprisingly hirsute Gianluca Vialli. While lying behind the goalline after his diving attempt, Mancini attempts to wrest the ball from Maciej's hands but receives a rasper to the head for his troubles.

Rather bizarrely, Maciej's reaction to an immediate sending off from the referee is to fall to the ground and feign injury (which he receives a slap for), while Mancini also embellishes the results of Szczesny right-hander.

Can we expect similar fun from Szczesny Jr and the Manchester City boss tomorrow at 4pm? Probably not but here's hoping.
