Teen football hooligan is banned from Wolves games

The defendant, aged 17, pleaded guilty at Wolverhampton Magistrates Court to causing or contributing to violence or disorder in the UK on seven occasions since December 2012.

Magistrate Brian Wallis issued the youngster with a three year ban from all home and away Wolves games. This means that he will be unable to be near Molineux three hours before kick off or three hours after the final whistle.

A further condition states that he should not attend Manchester or Birmingham stations and stadiums five hours before an away game and five hours after the final whistle. The ban will end on March 21, 2019.

The youth's offences included being part of a group wearing ski masks that pushed against police lines after Wolves won the match against Birmingham City on December 8, 2012.

The defendant was also part of a group that chased Port Vale fans along Wolverhampton canal after Wolves beat the team 3-0.

He pushed against police lines again on August 4, 2014 and on March 3, 2015 and October 24 of the same year he was arrested for violent disorder.

The youth confronted Derby fans to engage in violent disorder on November 8, 2015 and on January 1 this year he was part of a group of hooligans involved in shouting at the police.

He then attended the Bolton Macron Stadium on January 31 with a group of so-called 'risk supporters'.

Yesterday, we reported how a football hooligan who was involved in the disorder which led to the attack on Watford football fan Nic Cruwys was banned from attending Wolves matches for three years.
