Former Newcastle player Andy Ferrell banned from every UK stadium

A former Newcastle United player is one of four of the club's fans to be banned from every football stadium in the UK.

Andy Ferrell, 39, was signed to NUFC at the start of his football career but moved on before making the first team.

Ferrell and the other three men, all from Newcastle and North Shields, were involved in a fight with rival Chelsea supporters in Newcastle on 12 November.

At Newcastle Magistrates' Court the men were convicted of public order offences and given three-year banning orders.

They are now prevented from attending any regulated football match in the UK for the next three years.
