Two Millwall football fans have been convicted and given Football Banning Orders after making deeply offensive gestures during a match against Leicester City earlier this year. The convictions mark the first application of recently introduced legislation targeting “tragedy chanting”.
Father and son, Peter and Freddie Brooks, were filmed making helicopter gestures towards Leicester City fans during the January fixture at The Den. The gestures were a clear reference to the 2018 helicopter crash that claimed the life of Leicester City’s then-owner, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, and four others.
