England fan handed football banning order after Nazi salutes filmed at Russia World Cup

The 57-year-old was among fans also singing anti-Semitic songs in Volgograd bar

A football fan has been banned from attending games for five years after a video emerged showing England supporters performing Nazi salutes in a Russian bar.

They were also filmed singing antisemitic songs in the city of Volgograd – scene of one of the Second World War's bloodiest battles – hours after England played Tunisia.

Michael Herbert, 57, of Derby, was slapped with a football banning order while appearing at Leicester Magistrates Court on Saturday following a joint investigation by British police and the Football Association.

Two other men – aged 52 and 58 – were hauled before Leeds Magistrates Court in connection with the same widely-circulated footage. Their case was adjourned until Tuesday.

In a statement released before the hearings, the FA condemned the actions seen in the video.

It said: “The disgraceful conduct of the individuals in this video does not represent the values of the majority of English football fans supporting the team in Russia.”

Separately, another fan, Paul Johnson, of Banbury, appeared before Oxford Magistrates Court in connection with what Russian police called ‘hooliganism’ while on board a train to Volgograd. The 25-year-old received a three-year banning order.
