Police are trying to trace 18 football fans in connection with violence that marred the end of the Millwall FA cup win over Leicester last month.

Scotland Yard today issued images of fans they are trying to trace following the disorder between both sets of supporters.

After the final whistle at the match, in which Millwall defeated Leicester 1-0, there was a pitch invasion by home fans at The Den and missiles, including seats and bottles were thrown.

Detective Chief Inspector John Oldham, from Specialist Crime and Operations Public Order Branch, said: “This was despicable behaviour and has absolutely no place at a football match. It was pure luck that no-one was badly hurt.

“Supporters should be in no doubt that anyone involved in or responsible for the disorder will be dealt with robustly and once identified, we will seek to arrest them and put them before the courts.

There is no place for this kind of behaviour and I would urge anyone who recognises who any of these people are to get in touch with us.”

Anyone who recognises any of the individuals should contact the investigation team on 020 8246 9386 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
