A man has been hit with a three-year football banning order after finally admitting he used threatening or abusive words or behaviour.
Francis Porter, 38, originally of Heather Grove, Worsley Hall, now of Eskdale Avenue, Blackrod, had pleaded not guilty to the offence, which is said to have happened on April 2 in Wigan.
A trial was to have been held at Wigan Magistrates' Court but before it could start he changed his plea and was told he is banned from all football grounds for three years.
