Player gets arrested after game for on-pitch theft !!!

This took place in 1991 during the derby between Uruguay's two biggest teams : Penarol-Nacional. The incident involved Panamanian international Dely Valdez and Penarol defender Goncalves. Valdez was Nacional's striker and he was known for wearing gold chains and other jewelries on the pitch. Both players were struggling as a corner kick was about to take place for Nacional, Goncalves ripped off one of Valdez's gold-chains and hid it in his sock. Nobody in the stadium saw it but the TV cameras caught the moment, and after the game Valdez and the police were waiting for Goncalvez outside the dressing rooms. Goncalvez was arrested but the charges were later dropped as he had returned the chain.

Why did he do it? Goncalvez reply is clear and simple: "I don't know what I was thinking".
This derby became known simply as the "golden-chain derby" !
