A MILLWALL supporter has been banned from football matches for three years after chanting racist abuse.

Electrician Kenneth Holmes, aged 28, was charged at the Millwall versus Leicester City game at The Lions Den, Zampa Road, Lewisham, on August 14.

Appearing at Greenwich Magistrates' Court, he pleaded guilty to racist chanting and received a three-year ban from UK matches.

Holmes, of Rosendale Road, Dulwich, was also fined £200.

Superintendent Brian Pearce, of Lewisham police, said: "I hope this ban acts as a deterrent to others."
