Leeds Fan's England Ban

Last updated : 31 March 2007 By Kevin Markey
David Grimshaw, 38, was stopped by police as he tried to catch a flight to Barcelona from Liverpool John Lennon Airport on Tuesday.

Grimshaw, of Accrington, who was the subject of a previous football banning order, appeared before Liverpool magistrates and agreed to a 30-month banning order.

This means that for the next 30 months he will not be able to attend any matches in the UK or abroad.

He will also have to surrender his passport and sign in at a police station at specific times. Merseyside Police said the banning order was the first imposed under the National Ports Operation for tonight's Euro 2008 qualifying match.
