SEVEN Birmingham-based British Transport Police officers have been commended for their help in convicting 12 football hooligans.

The officers received Area Commander's Commendations for their dedication to duty during violent disturbances which broke out before and after a Wrexham versus Walsall match in October 2004.

Trouble started when a group of about 200 Walsall fans descended on Wrexham town centre ahead of the fixture and incidents of violence and racially aggravated offending took place.

The same thing happened after the game as some Walsall supporters were being escorted to the train station by police.

Further offences were committed on the return journey, when travelling fans threw coins and a metal bar at officers, one supporter was hit on the head with a bottle and a fire extinguisher was sprayed at passengers, including a pregnant woman.

Arrests were made but the offending continued and further officers were deployed to restore order.

Twelve people were later charged with offences ranging from assaulting a police officer to racially aggravated public order offences.

Eleven football banning orders were also obtained, varying between three to five years, as well as curfew orders, rehabilitation orders, fines and a four-month detention training order.

Chief Superintendent Peter McHugh, Area Commander for Wales and Western area, said: "These officers acted with outstanding professionalism in hazardous circumstances. They displayed commitment and perseverance throughout the investigation.

The officers being commended include acting Det Insp Anthony Bennett, acting Sgt Dave Rich, Det Con Jeffrey Glock, PC Peter Matthews, football intelligence PC Jim Rentell, PC Mark Murphy and PC Chris Stark.

Carlisle vs Sunderland: Prison warning for football hooligan - 27/10/2006

A TEENAGE football hooligan was yesterday warned he could go to jail after he admitted being among a group of Carlisle United fans who clashed with Sunderland supporters in the city centre.


John Reginald Eplett, 18, was arrested in a dawn raid in the days following the angry exchanges on Botchergate.

The incident took place when more than 2,000 Sunderland supporters came to the city to watch their team play at Brunton Park on Saturday, July 29.

Carlisle lost the match 3-0 and after the game there were clashes between Blues fans and about 300 away supporters who had been drinking since the morning.

Police were forced to keep the rival fans apart as bottles were thrown and threats were made.

More than 30 officers herded Sunderland followers to Carlisle station after the stand-off.

Eplett, of Dowbeck Road, Carlisle, admitted using abusive words or behaviour when he appeared before city magistrates yesterday, sporting a peroxide blonde Mohican haircut.

Eplett was arrested in August as part of Cumbria Police’s Respect campaign which targeted crimes including violence and anti-social behaviour.

At least thirteen people from Carlisle and the North East have been quizzed by after police studied CCTV footage of the disorder.

Eplett is currently subject to a ban which stops him going into Carlisle city centre for six hours on the days that Carlisle United play at home.

He also admitted breaching a community punishment order by failing to attend an appointment on September 19.

John Robson, chairman of the Bench, told him he could be sent to prison.

Eplett will be sentenced for both offences on November 11 after magistrates read pre-sentence reports.
