A FOOTBALL hooligan involved in a notorious street brawl is among six fans in hot water after failing to observe new stricter rules for a recent England game.

Littlehampton’s Stuart McCullough, who was given a 15-month jail sentence for his part in a brawl between Albion and Spurs fans in Brighton in 2010, is one of six Sussex based England supporters to fall foul of tightened security restrictions.

St Leonards-based Crystal Palace fan Darren Bush, who was involved with a planned attack on Charlton Athletic fans in October 2008, has also breached the terms of his banning order.

Sussex Police are now considering further action against 25-year-old Jamie Danks of Dorchester Gardens in Worthing, 26-year-old Mccullough, of Seaton Road in Littlehampton, James Lavender, 35, of Avondale Road in Eastbourne and 31-year-old Jamie Thorpe of Lewes Road in Laughton, all for failing to hand in their passports and not reporting to a police station before the Republic of Ireland v England match on June 7.

Bush, 46, of Stonehouse Drive in St Leonards, and 24-year-old Jack Harris, of Rafati Way in Bexhill, failed to report to their police station.

Mr McCullough was pictured swinging a traffic sign at rival fans during a brawl in Albion Hill, Brighton, on the same day Albion played Aberdeen in a pre-season friendly in July 2010.

A court hearing almost two years later revealed that Spurs fans were upholding an agreement with fans from the Scottish club to participate in the brawl, which saw rival supporters attacking each other with snooker cues, extendable batons and homemade bats.

Mr Bush was part of a 30-strong gang of Eagles fans who trapped Charlton Athletic fans on a train at Sydenham Station in London before attacking them.

Football intelligence and liaison officer PC Darren Balkham, said: "It is pleasing that most of the men in Sussex with banning orders complied with their reporting restrictions.

"Those who didn't, however, will now face action which could lead to their banning orders being extended.

“We will assess each case and what action we need to take in terms of letters of caution or a court summons and I hope to get them out in the next ten days."
