Four more fans admit crimes following Man Utd protests ahead of Liverpool FC match at Old Trafford

Four more Manchester United fans have admitted their involvement in a huge disturbance at Old Trafford which led to Liverpool FC's match being postponed.

The game at Old Trafford in May last year was postponed after Manchester United protestors broke into the ground and invaded the pitch. About 1,000 people had gathered outside the ground to demonstrate with a number clashing with police.

A further four men are now due to be sentenced after pleading guilty to criminal offences in relation to the large scale disturbance. Lee Bowie, 34, admitted burglary. Gary Buckley, 52; Matthew Connor, 20; and Jake O'Hare, 26, all pleaded guilty to violent disorder.
