Newcastle United fan jailed for storming Burnley pub

A Newcastle United supporter has pleaded guilty to taking part in violent disorder which left a "trail of destruction" at a pub in Burnley.

Thomas Young, 53, from Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, was jailed for two years and banned from attending football matches for six years.

Nine other men were jailed over the disturbance when they appeared at Preston Crown Court in September.

Young was jailed at Burnley Crown Court on Friday.

The court heard that at about 16:25 on 14 December 2019, during Burnley's Premier League match with Newcastle at Turf Moor, fighting broke out between rival fans at the Turf Hotel in Yorkshire Street.
