A 16-year-old boy has been banned from going to any football matches in Britain for three years after being caught with a knife, a knuckle duster and a flare before a Premier League game.
The schoolboy, who cannot be named due to his age, tried to run away from cops when he was spotted with a group of fans ahead of the Brighton and Hove Albion v Crystal Palace clash last month.
After trying to flee from police, the teenager was caught and found to have a knuckle duster, a lock-knife and a flare, as well as a fake driving licence and citizen card.
