Fan banned from pubs on match days

AN ARSENAL fan who urinated on a burger bar counter and threatened drinkers has been banned from every pub in Islington on match days.
Highbury Corner magistrates have imposed a two-year anti-social behaviour order (Asbo) on Michael Doyle, 39, who lives in Andover Road, Finsbury Park.
Police and Islington Council applied for the Asbo after complaints from publicans, pub customers and residents.
Mr Doyle is already banned from attending football matches until 2010, after he twice invaded the pitch at Arsenal’s former home, Highbury, in 2005. He went on to breach this on six occasions, prompting police to apply for an Asbo against him.
The court was told Mr Doyle had been convicted of harassing customers outside a nightclub in March last year, threatening staff and customers in a Holloway Road pub in May, urinating on a counter in a burger bar in front of families and children in August and being abusive and throwing coins at police officers and their cars in September.
