The club go on to say that two others have been given 10-year bans after the last home game of the season against West Brom.

"Sheffield Wednesday can confirm that one lifetime ban and two 10-year bans have been issued to individuals who seriously contravened EFL Ground Regulations during our final home game of the season against West Brom on Saturday 27 April.

"These sanctions send out a clear message to everyone attending Hillsborough for future fixtures that such breaches will not be tolerated.
