THREE hooligans banned from football grounds across the country have been arrested after they were allegedly caught watching an England game.
Nicky Harcourt, of Bramdean Crescent, Lee; Terry Turner, of Finland Road, Brockley, and Dean Brooks, of Broad Walk, Kidbrooke, were charged with breaching their football banning orders.
The trio allegedly ignored their bans to attend the England versus Northern Ireland World Cup qualifying match at Windsor Park, Belfast, on September 7.
They were arrested after a series of swoops across south London last week by the Met Police's football intelligence unit Operation Gallium.
Harcourt, aged 19, and Turner, aged 20, will appear at Greenwich Magistrates' Court on Friday.
Brooks, aged 25, appeared before Woolwich magistrates yesterday.
