Pro golfer hit with football banning order after making Nazi salutes at West Ham fixture

An English professional golfer has pleaded guilty to making Nazi salutes at a Europa League game at West Ham United's London Stadium.

Daniel Garner, 26, appeared before magistrates in Stratford. He admitted making the gestures towards supporters of Rapid Vienna when the Austrian side played The Hammers in a Europa League clash on September 30, 2021.

As a result, Garner, who played in three tour events last year, was fined £166. He was also issued with a banning order that will stop him from attending matches in England and Wales for the next three years. Nosheen Hussain, from the Crown Prosecution Service, described Garner's conduct as "insulting and inciteful." She also revealed that Garner attributed his behaviour to alcohol consumption.
