A Bolton Wanderers fan has been banned from attending football matches following disorder during the Euros.

Callum Seddon, of Sankey Bridges, Warrington, was handed a four-year football banning order after incidents in Germany over the summer.

The 34-year-old, of Larkspur Grove, appeared before Manchester Magistrates’ Court recently in respect of a complaint for a football banning order.

It followed violence hours ahead of England’s opening Euro 2024 match against Serbia in the German city of Gelsenkirchen on June 16.

Police alleged that Seddon "contributed to football-related violence and or disorder".

News reports emerged that England and Serbian football fans clashed on the streets of Gelsenkirchen prior to the 8pm local kick-off time.

Shocking photos and videos emerged on social media of people bleeding and injured, with others showing bottles, chairs and tables being thrown.

German riot police were dispatched to restore order and separate supporters of each country.

Court documents state: “It is alleged that the respondent has caused or contributed to violence or disorder.

“It is believed that you caused or contributed to football-related violence and/or disorder on Sunday, June 16, in Gelsenkirchen, prior to the England vs Serbia fixture that was played that same day.

“You are known to have historical links to Bolton Wanderers Football Club.

“In light of the incidents of disorder and other football related detailed above, there are reasonable grounds to believe that making a football banning order in your case would help to prevent violence or disorder at, or in connection with, regulated football matches.”

The court agreed and imposed a football banning order for four years, prohibiting him from attending any designated football fixture.

During this time, he must not enter the area around Wanderers' Toughsheet Community Stadium on Saturdays and Sundays, between four hours prior to kick-off and until four hours after kick-off, when the Whites have a home fixture.

This is also the case on any other weekday from 4pm to midnight when Wanderers have a home fixture.

In addition, Seddon must not attend any town or city in the United Kingdom on a day that Wanderers are playing there, again four hours prior to kick-off and until four hours after.

The order also states that he must not enter the town, city or parish boundary in England, Wales or Scotland where an England senior men's national team fixture is being played, again four hours before kick-off and until four hours after.

He is only allowed into these areas during these times to attend work or an education facility, to carry out community service to comply with a court order, or to attend a pre-arranged probation, solicitor or medical appointment.

Speaking after the tournament, at which England finished as runners-up after losing 2-1 to Spain in the final, the UK Football Policing Unit said that the vast majority of England fans "represented the country in a positive light".

The unit reported there had been 77 arrests out of the estimated 240,000 people who had travelled to Germany for any part of the tournament.

The UKFPU said 13 football banning orders had been served by the courts, and confirmed further work was ongoing to "identify and consider action against a small number of supporters who have committed offences overseas".
