Tottenham fan banned for three-years from attending football matches after being found guilty of mocking the Hillsborough disaster during clash with Liverpool at Anfield

A Tottenham fan has been banned from attending football matches for three years after being found guilty of mocking the Hillsborough disaster.

The Crown Prosecution Service said that Kieron Darlow, 25, from Welwyn, made the gestures at the Liverpool v Spurs Premier League game at Anfield on April 30.

Andrew Page, of CPS Mersey Cheshire, said: 'Darlow admitted making a gesture towards the Liverpool fans and that this was a reference to the Hillsborough disaster.

'He admitted that this was to suggest that fans without tickets had pushed forward in the tragedy and had been partly to blame for the crush that led to so many deaths.
