I thought others did it well before either the Gemina or ESG but I have myself thrown a cabbage at Alan Larsen on horseback which was on the English Heritage film of the event at Kirby Hall 1997 and had the dubious pleasure of having a horse jump over me when I was kneeling down behind a shield. Technically walk over the shield would be more correct.
