Four-year ban on rampaging hooligan

A football hooligan has been banned from watching England or Chelsea for four years.

Neill Coyle, 39, rioted with 100 others in Zurich in March last year, 24 hours before England played in Liechtenstein.

He was filmed hurling an ashtray at police and chanting racist abuse.

Pol ice launched a nationwide hunt for him and he was arrested before the England v Croatia friendly in Ipswich last August.

Coyle, of Chatham, denied being drunk while trying to get into the Ipswich ground but local magistrates convicted him yesterday, fined him £200 and granted the prosecution's request for the banning order.
