Gordon Thomas was detained after violence in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, ahead of England's match
A man detained by police on arrival at Manchester Airport on Monday night after violence flared ahead of England's 1-0 Euro 2024 group stage victory over Serbia in Germany on Sunday has appeared in court.
Mr Thomas, believed to be a Bolton Wanderers supporter, was detained by Greater Manchester Police officers at Manchester Airport on Monday night under the Football Spectators Act 1989. His passport has been kept by police, the court heard. Laura Peers, prosecuting, said the defendant had to be brought before the courts within 24 hours under the legislation. She said the application of the order had been signed by the Director of Public Prosecutions.
He told the judge he has a family holiday booked for August and asked for a reason for withholding his passport, saying the tournament would be over then. District Judge Hirst told him: "You will not be having your passport back or leaving England and Wales. But see a solicitor. It doesn’t mean that condition cannot be varied. You need independent legal advice."
