Newcastle United have banned a season ticket holder indefinitely after he was convicted of racially abusing Liverpool players.
Magpies supporter Michael Collins was spotted directing racist abuse at Reds players by an undercover stewarding operation during the Premier League game at St James' Park on May 4.
Collins has been handed a five-year football banning order - meaning he will be unable to attend matches home and away - after being found guilty of racially aggravated harassment at North Tyneside Magistrates Court.
In addition, Newcastle have banned Collins from their stadium for an indefinite period.
Steve Storey, head of safety and security at Newcastle, said: "Racism has absolutely no place at St. James' Park or in our city and we will continue to do everything we can to drive it out of football and society.
"We want to send a clear message that any instances of discrimination will be dealt with as strongly as possible by the club with the support of Northumbria Police and other agencies.
"St. James' Park is a wonderful place to experience football and, together with our supporters and partners, we will continue to ensure it is a welcoming, inclusive and vibrant place for everyone."
