A Everton fan was given a five-year ban from attending matches after headbutting a police officer.
Alan Wiltshire was hit with the football banning order after police said he was convicted of pitch encroachment and assault of an emergency worker. The 31-year-old, of Newsham Drive, carried out the attack during the Merseyside Derby at Goodison Park on December 1, last year.
In the attack, Wiltshire jumped over the hoardings of the Lower Gwladys Street stand, went onto the pitch and headbutted a police officer. The headbutt left the officer with bruising to his face, police said today.
