Manchester City will begin planning how to 'hurt' Sevilla on Monday ahead of the UEFA Super Cup final.
Man City fan's lies caught out after he's filmed making 'disgusting' Hillsborough gestures to Liverpool fans
25.07.2023 - 13:17 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
This CCTV footage captured the moment a Manchester City fan made a 'disgusting' gesture mocking the Hillsborough tragedy during a game against Liverpool last year.
David Murphy was captured on CCTV repeatedly making a CPR gesture - pushing downwards with two clasped hands - towards Liverpool supporters after the final whistle when City beat their rivals 3-2 in an EFL Cup tie at the Etihad stadium on December 22 last year.
The 42-year-old father, from Frodsham in Cheshire, claimed in court he was making 'calm down' gestures - but this was rejected by magistrates. In court, he was handed a fine and a three-year ban from attending football matches.

Following his sentence, Greater Manchester Police today (July 25) released the footage of the incident as a top cop slammed Murphy's 'utterly despicable' behaviour. It showed Murphy making the gesture in the stands, surrounded by other fans.
He repeatedly made the thrusting heart massage gestures with two clasped hands and other rude gestures as he stood beside his ten-year-old son.
Murphy told the magistrates he admitted making the gestures but he insisted they were not done to mock the Hillsborough disaster. He said such gestures were 'dreadful'.
"That's something I wouldn't do," he said. He pointed out to the bench that he himself has a Liverpool accent and that he had friends from Liverpool.
Murphy said the game had been an 'awful evening' and an 'awful atmosphere', adding his son was 'spat at' on the way into the ground.
"Unfortunately that's the way football is going at the moment," he told the court, promising he would never attend another football match again as he no longer felt safe
