The protestor who tied himself to a goal post during Everton's 1-0 win over Newcastle United has admitted taking the decision to disrupt play because 'we can't carry on as normal' with the current approach to fossil fuels.
The man was eventually freed from the Goodison Park pitch after the intervention of half a dozen people five minutes into the second half. In the end, it took bolt croppers to remove the plastic zip-tie around his neck.
Video footage has since emerged of a man naming himself as Louis McKechnie, seen speaking ahead of Thursday's game outside the home of the Blues, during which he explains why he is a supporter of the 'Just Stop Oil' campaign.
