Six England fans have been jailed and banned from France after appearing in a Marseille court charged in connection with the weekend violence. Alexander Booth and Ian Hepworth were the first fans to be dealt with after the widespread trouble in the French port city. Booth, 20, from Huddersfield, was jailed for two months for throwing a bottle at police and banned from France for two years. Hepworth, 41, a psychiatric nurse from Sheffield, was given a three-month sentence for the same offence and the same ban. Lee Phillips, 23, and Paul Jackson, 21, were both jailed for one month while Ashley Kelly, 26, was given a three-month sentence following the violence in Marseille. Steven Cornell, 28, was the sixth England fan to be jailed and was given two months. Reacting to the sentence, Booth’s father Chris described his son’s sentence as a “miscarriage”.
