Former Coventry City keeper Cameron Belford was punched as his Bury side won promotion to League One with a 3-2 victory at Chesterfield which stopped the Spirettes from becoming the champions.
Nuneaton born Belford, who played for City's Academy and Reserves, was punched after one of the Chesterfield goal and has officially complained and a person has been arrested.
Police Inspector Russell Dakin is quoted as saying: "It would appear a fan has encroached on the pitch and assaulted the goalkeeper.
"One person has been arrested and we will be scanning the CCTV system and liaising with the club and members of the media and collating as much evidence as possible."
Chesterfield's B2net stadium manager Colin Nellist is also quoted as saying: "The very minimum that will happen to this person is they will get a ban from the club and whatever happens thereafter will depend on the courts.
"But as soon as we ascertain the identity of this person he will be banned from the club until further notice because we take this very seriously indeed."
