Thug hurled anti-Semitic insults at Tottenham fans during match at Goodison Park

A thug hurled disgraceful anti-Semitic insults at Tottenham fans and made hissing sounds referring to the gas chambers in Nazi concentration camps.

Neil McManniman hurled a "torrent of foul abuse" towards Tottenham Hotspur fans during a match between the North London club and Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday, November 7 2021. Liverpool Crown Court was told today that the 46-year-old had seven previous offences including a similar conviction, involving the "n" word, also at Goodison Park, which landed him a three-year banning order.

Three other of the offences also involved being drunk at sporting events and running on to the pitch. McManniman, of Quarry Green, Kirkby, denied being behind the anti-Semitic abuse but a jury took just half an hour to convict him of religiously aggravated harassment.
