Richard Burgum, 29, said he was an “absolute idiot” for running onto the pitch twice as he watched his team West Ham at Upton Park in the Carling Cup match last Tuesday. The father of three, from Dagenham, now faces being banned for life from following the club after the invasions in the second half of the match.

‘I was stupid… but I am not one of the hooligans’, says fan who invaded pitch | News I am still in transit, so to speak, but have taken time to inform myself about the latest West Ham news - and am interested in the idea that being ‘banned for life from following the club’ is something that can even happen. How is that enforced? If the banned fellow is found, say, wearing an old West Ham shirt will he be punished? Is he allowed to be an Arsenal fan now? |
