Disgraced football fan Andrew Williams was bailed today after turning up at a UK court to face football banning orders.

Williams was one of ten supporters who arrived at Heathrow late last night after being voluntarily deported from Portugal, having been arrested for violence on Monday.

Williams, of Ravenswood Road, Burgess Hill, was given a seven-month jail sentence suspended for three years by a Portuguese judge following clashes with police in Albufeira.

Six others were given suspended sentences. The remaining three were acquitted once they agreed to leave Portugal.

Williams, 22, with seven others, arrived at Uxbridge Magistrates Court in London but did not appear before the bench.

The supporters were served their bail papers in the waiting room and ordered to surrender their passports.

None of them was represented by a solicitor and the case was adjourned until next month.

Inspector Chris Broome, of the Football Intelligence Unit at Scotland Yard, said police were seeking banning orders for eight men, aged from their late teens up to 32, under the Football Spectators Act 1989.

Police said the defendants were all seeking legal advice and contesting the orders.

Williams wore a white shirt and dark trousers at the short hearing. Afterwards he said: "I need to take legal advice from my solicitor."

Williams and the other nine fans deported from Portugal had all denied public order offences and resisting arrest on Monday night when rioting broke out after England's defeat against France.

Williams said he was about 100 yards from the riot when he was arrested. He claimed he was just chatting to a bar owner whose premises had been closed.

He said: "I got pulled away. I wasn't doing anything wrong."

About 30 police officers met the supporters at London's Heathrow airport when they got off a flight from Faro.

They were each flanked by two officers as they came through the arrivals area to be taken for questioning.

Paul Donahue, 31, and Jason Boyle, 22, both from Manchester, were released without charge an hour later.

Garry Mann, 47, a firefighter from Faversham, Kent, was not travelling with them.

He was jailed for two years on Wednesday night after being described in the Portuguese court as a ringleader.

A 12th fan was freed in Portugal.

The other seven defendants who appeared at Uxbridge were Peter Barwick, 37, from Middlesbrough, John Parkes, 19, from Dudley, Daniel Marsh, 20, from Barnsley, Ricky Tsigarides, 22, from Cheshunt, John Jackson, 22, from Newcastle, David Jackson, 28, from Peterborough, and Jack Hobbs, 19, from Oxford.

They are due to return to the same court on July 28.
