A Manchester United fan who made sickening Hillsborough gestures at Liverpool fans during a Premier League match at Anfield has been banned from attending football games for three years.
Season ticket holder Callum Fleming, 24, was seen in the stands mocking the 97 victims of the disaster by pretending to choke himself and making it appear as if he was being crushed.
The incident on April 19 this year occurred just four days after the 33rd anniversary of the 1989 tragedy. After his gestures were reported to stewards, Fleming initially gave false information to police but eventually gave his name before being kicked out of the stadium.

Fleming appeared by video link from his home, after pleading guilty by post. Amie Gouldson, prosecuting, said: “It was four days after the anniversary of the Hillsborough Disaster during the Liverpool game with Manchester United.
“It was the first match after the anniversary. A constable was on duty at the Anfield Road end and he could see the Manchester United supporters. Another constable who was on duty with other officers in the lower part of the stand heard by radio that a male had been identified making Hillsborough gestures.
“He asked the defendant to accompany him to the concourse where he was advised that he might be summoned for the offence. The defendant initially gave false information before providing a driving licence in the name of Callum
