Crystal Palace supporter Stuart Rutter, 41, attended a Liverpool v Palace game on April 14 this year - on the eve of the 35-year anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster.

Ninety-seven people lost their lives as a result of a crowd crush before an FA Cup semi-final at Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield in 1989.

The football fan, from Blue Cedar Drive in Streetly, began chanting outside the Anfield main stand mocking the tragedy, which caused alarm and distress to people attending the game, Merseyside Police said.
