A 49-year-old man is the last of 11 men to be convicted of violent disorder at a large-scale disturbance in Burton.

Michael Whittingham, of Alfred Street, Stoke-on-Trent, has been found guilty on Friday, November 17, by a jury at Stafford Crown Court of violent disorder.

This follows a large-scale disturbance inside The Locomotive bar, in Station Street, just after 4.45pm on Saturday, July 16, 2016.

A group of men were fighting and damage was caused to fixtures and fittings inside the venue.

The disorder occurred shortly after a pre-season friendly between Burton Albion and Stoke City Football Club.

DS Garry Jackson, who lead the investigation said: "Such violence will not be tolerated in our communities and we welcome the jury's verdict. Anyone who participates in such violent behaviour should expect us to take positive action and use the full force of the law where we can."
