Danny Joe Brown, 36, will be sentenced at a later date. Basingstoke man Philip George Christopher Anderson will be sentenced on Tuesday, April 1.

Chief Inspector Stuart Ratcliffe, who has been overseeing the investigation, said the behaviour displayed by the men was 'completely shocking and absolutely unacceptable'.

He added: "We know that the vast majority of those attending football matches have no intention of involving themselves in scenes of violent disorder like this.

"However, for the minority who ruin events like these for the rest, our message is that we will not tolerate any violence, and we will take action against you."
