A Leeds United Supporter has been jailed for this incident last Friday.
Leeds United fan Aaron Cawley has been sentenced to four months in jail for attacking Sheffield Wednesday's GK Chris Kirkland during a League Championship match last Friday at Hillsborough Stadium. At about the 77th minute, Cawley leaped onto the pitch, punched Kirkland in the face, and quickly escaped back into the crowd.
He was not arrested at the Stadium, but turned himself into the police after friends had supposedly told him what he had done. Cawley admitted to being intoxicated. He says that he had a number a beers followed by 3/4 of a liter of vodka before coming to the match, where he consumed 7 to 10 pints of cider. Wow.
Cawley has been banned from football matches before, and has been cited for violating these injunctions at least 4 times.
Cawley admitted to assault and going on to a football pitch. He was jailed for 16 weeks and ordered to pay £85 costs. The district judge said he will be given a new banning order, probably for five years.
