Smirking football fan pleads guilty to wearing shirt mocking Hillsborough victims

A football fan has pled guilty to wearing a shirt mocking victims of the Hillsborough tragedy.

James White, 33, from Warwickshire, was pictured smirking as he arrived at Willesden Magistrates' Court on Monday June 19, where he admitted to displaying threatening or abusive writing likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.

The thug was seen wearing a shirt at the FA Cup final between Manchester United and Manchester City on Saturday June 3, which appeared to contain a slur aimed at people who sadly died at Hillsborough in April 1989, reports the Liverpool Echo.
