Captain Skips Punishment

Last updated : 10 August 2006 By Kevin Markey
The 33-year-old Whites skipper was charged with abusive and indecent language/behaviour following an incident after Leeds' play-off semi-final win at Preston in May.

Butler was injured for the 2-0 second-leg victory at Deepdale, but was reported for his part in the Leeds players' celebrations after the final whistle.

The centre-half, who appeared before the disciplinary committee's four-man panel in Sheffield, has been cleared of any wrong-doing.
