Six-year match ban for football hooligan
A FOOTBALL hooligan who hurled missiles at police in ugly scenes of violence in the Midlands has been barred from attending football matches for six years.
Mitch Hutton was arrested after last season's Molineux game against Cardiff City.
Hutton, who was living at the time in Itchen Grove, Perton, Wolverhampton, was sent into custody for two-and-a-half years at an earlier hearing after he admitted violent disorder.
The 19-year-old was identified when he was caught on CCTV after the Cardiff game which Wolves won 2-0 in March 2006.
Hutton was brought back to Wolverhampton Crown Court and Judge Michael Challinor imposed the ban ruling he could not attend any football game in England and Wales until 2013.
He also ordered Hutton, one of more than 100 Wolves supporters involved in the disturbance, to surrender his passport to police.
