Manchester United bans smirking fan who wore vile '97 Not Enough' shirt mocking Hillsborough tragedy

Manchester United has now indefinitely banned a fan who wore a '97 Not Enough' t-shirt that mocked the Hillsborough disaster tragedy.

James White pleaded guilty to displaying threatening or abusive writing likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress at the FA Cup final between Manchester City and Manchester United. He wore a football shirt at Wembley Stadium which made an offensive reference to the Hillsborough disaster.

White, 33, of Warwickshire, admitted the charge at Willesden Magistrates’ Court in north-west London on Monday (June 19). He has been banned from all regulated football games in the UK for four years and was fined £1,000 and ordered to pay a surcharge of £400 and £85 in costs.
