A Manchester United fan who wore a football shirt to the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium on June 3 which made an offensive reference to the Hillsborough disaster has pleaded guilty to displaying threatening or abusive writing likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.
James White, 33, of Warwickshire, entered the guilty plea at Willesden Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
He was arrested inside the national stadium after a picture of him wearing the shirt on the concourse was posted on social media. The Manchester United away strip had the number 97 with the words "not enough" written above, leading to widespread condemnation.
