An Everton FC fan has received a four year football banning order after hitting an Aston Villa player with a plastic Lucozade bottle.
Roger Tweedle, 19, received the four year banning order after he threw the plastic bottle onto the pitch, hitting Villa right-back Matty Cash, during the Everton vs Aston Villa match at Goodison earlier this year. Tweedle, of Cranehurst Road, Walton, appeared at South Sefton Magistrates Court and was found guilty of throwing missiles onto a football pitch and section 39 assault.
Tweedle was issued with a four year football banning order preventing him from attending any regulated football matches during that time. He received an eight week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months and ordered to complete 100 hours of unpaid work. He was also ordered to pay a fine and court costs.
