A man has been given a football banning order for running on to the pitch at Accrington Stanley’s Wham Stadium.
Terence Griffiths, 34, jumped over a barrier from the Coppice Terrace to celebrate Tranmere Rovers’ 101st minute equaliser in the 3-3 draw with Stanley on 12th April.
Griffiths ran on the pitch with his arms raised and was seen to attempting to hug a Tranmere player before running towards the centre of the pitch.
He was later identified and given a postal requisition to appear in court.
Griffiths, of Beckwith Street, Birkenhead, pleaded guilty at Blackburn Magistrates Court on Thursday (23rd July) to going on to the playing area at a football match.
The court imposed a three-year football banning order, fined him £40 and ordered him to pay £85 costs.
