This is Everton fan John O'Brien who has been from football stadiums for three years after a foul-mouthed tirade ahead of a Merseyside derby.
Police confirmed today that "Everton fan" O’Brien, of St Domingo Road in Everton was hit with the football banning order for his conduct ahead of a 1-0 defeat for the Toffees at Anfield on December 2 last year.
A spokesman said the 21-year-old was arrested after he was "heard shouting offensive comments prior to the derby game" which saw a packed away end at Anfield watch on as Liverpool secured a heartbreaking last-minute victory thanks to a bizarre goal from Divock Origi.
Police have not released details of what he said.
As well as his three-year ban from football grounds O'Brien was also handed a £850 fine by Sefton magistrates on Wednesday.
A police spokesman told the ECHO: "A 21-year-old Liverpool man has been given a three year football banning order after being found guilty of a public order offence ahead of the Liverpool v Everton fixture on 2nd December last year.
"Everton fan John O’Brien, of St Domingo Road, Liverpool, was heard shouting offensive comments prior to the derby game.
"He was arrested for a s5 public order offence and after a trial at Sefton CJC yesterday, Wednesday 18th September, he was found guilty."
Divock Origi scored in the 96th minute at Anfield following a blunder from Everton keeper Jordan Pickford prompting Jurgen Klopp to run onto the pitch.
