A football fan has been banned from going to games after trouble at a pre-season friendly between Grimsby Town and Sheffield United in July.

Perry Keith Smith, 30, from Sheffield, pleaded guilty to assault at an earlier hearing at Grimsby Magistrates' Court.

Smith, of Garland Close, was fined £230 and given a three-year banning order.

Two police officers were injured during the disorder at Blundell Park, Cleethorpes, as rival fans clashed outside the ground.
