A Tottenham Hotspur supporter was fined and banned from attending matches after mocking the Hillsborough disaster at Anfield.
Kieron Darlow, 25, of Node Way Gardens in Welwyn, attended Anfield on April 30 of this year for the Liverpool FC v Tottenham Hotspur game, which Spurs lost 4-3 thanks to a late Diogo Jota winner for the Reds. Sefton Magistrates Court was told Darlow was in the Lower Anfield Road stand when he made gestures mocking the Hillsborough disaster, in which 97 Liverpool supporters were unlawfully killed. This caused alarm and distress to people attending the game, police said.
His actions were reported to officers at the game and Darlow was identified, arrested, and charged with intentionally causing harassment, alarm or distress.
