Tottenham fan admits making mocking gesture about Hillsborough disaster

A Tottenham Hotspur fan made gestures mocking the Hillsborough disaster at Anfield.

Kieron Darlow of Node Way Gardens in Welwyn, made the gestures at the Liverpool v Spurs game at Anfield on April 30, 2023. Darlow, 25, was in the Lower Anfield Road stand, near to the divide between the home and away fans, and raised both of his hands with his palms facing out, mimicking being pushed and squashed in the way that victims of the Hillsborough tragedy in 1989 were.

The Crown Prosecution Service said throughout this, Darlow was laughing and those who challenged him said he caused real alarm and distress. His actions were reported to the police at the game and the 25-year-old was identified and arrested. Officers said he seemed to be drunk.
