The scene took place last May and shocked everyone. While Newcastle were held by Leeds on the pitch at Elland Road (2-2), a Peacocks supporter managed to make his way into Eddie Howe’s technical area to verbally and then physically attack the Magpies technician.
Neutralized by security, the 35-year-old man, whose name is David Derbyshire, was tried this Friday by the courts across the Channel. And according to information from Sky Sports, the latter was sentenced to 3 months in prison and given a six-year football banning order at Leeds Magistrates’ Court. A sentence which should serve as an example throughout the Kingdom.
