A man has been given a three-year football banning order after he threw a vape onto a pitch.

Jack Gerry, from Gillingham, threw the object towards the playing area at The Den, the home stadium of Millwall football club.

It happened during their 1-0 win over Birmingham on Saturday, March 9.

Gerry, of Otway Street in Gillingham, was charged with throwing a missile onto a football playing area.

On Friday, June 28, the 23-year-old appeared at Bromley Magistrates’ Court and pleaded guilty.

He was given a three-year football banning order, which means he will not be able to attend any regulated football match during that period.

He was also told to pay £100 in fines as well as £85 in costs.
