A football hooligan who drunkenly hurled a metal barrier at fans at Manchester Piccadilly railway station - then tried to attack police - has been slapped with a football banning order.
The order passed by magistrates bans Dean Chandler, who tried to headbutt one police officer, from all football grounds for a four-year period.
British Transport Police said Chandler resisted arrest and racially abused another officer during the incident in Manchester in August last year.
A court heard 'intoxicated' Chandler was returning from a Bolton Wanderers match at Port Vale when he threw the metal barrier at Piccadilly station in the direction of other fans.
