Pitch invader told police 'You only live once'

A pitch invader at Burnley's Turf Moor who said "you only live once" when he was arrested has been banned from football games for three years.

Carlton Hargreaves, 27, ran on the pitch in the 88th minute of the Clarets Championship game against Middlesbrough on 6 December, Lancashire Police said.

Hargreaves, of Longworth Road, Billington, ran around the pitch between players before being detained by club staff.

He admitted at Blackburn Magistrates' Court going on to playing areas contrary to section 4 of the Football Offences Act 1991. He was fined £112 and given a football banning order.
