FIVE football hooligans were yesterday handed prison terms for a pre-planned street brawl.
They were among 13 Aston Villa fans who admitted being involved.
Scotland Yard said some were armed with bottles and glasses during the violence in Pentonville Road, North London, in March last year.
Eleven of the men, all from the West Midlands, were sentenced at Snaresbrook crown court in East London.
Gary Clarke, 33, and Steven Fowler, 36, both of Minworth, were each jailed for 12 months. Liam McCarron, 43, of Birmingham, Carl Meah, 22, of Castle Bromwich, and Jamie Wellings, 22, of Kitt's Green - who are already serving jail terms - were given three months.
