In Denmark it seems an Under 21 International player had his flat set on fire by a fan(s) for switching from Aarhus Gymnastikforening to rivals FC Copenhagen!

That's pretty extreme.
"Early this summer, the Denmark Under-21 international Jens Stage received a threatening message on Facebook. It read: “You will never be in Aarhus again – Judas.” Stage’s apparent crime was that he had joined FC Copenhagen from local side AGF.
AGF had been paid around £2.2m for the services of the versatile 22-year-old, which is among the biggest sums paid for a player moving between two Danish clubs, but that did not stop some fans from being infuriated by the deal.
The player carried on with his life but then, in the early hours of 14 July, things turned a lot nastier. It was at around 2am when his flat was set on fire: two people were in the flat at the time and had to escape through a window. The police has not revealed if Stage was one of them. On a smoke bomb there was a message attached: “In Aarhus traitors are punished, you Judas *******.”
The fire was quickly put out but could have been fatal if it had not been for the emergency services. “This is a very old building so it’s lucky it didn’t spread more,” Kevin Jensen, a neighbour of Stage’s, told the Danish newspaper, Ekstra Bladet. “It is horrible to think about what could have happened."
