Dudley football fan banned from matches after homophobic abuse
Liam Duce was given a three-year banning order and fine.
A man arrested for homophobic chanting during the Wolves vs Chelsea match in April has been banned from attending football matches for three years.

It's after he was arrested at the fixture on 8 April this year for homophobic chanting.
The 24-year-old, of High Park Crescent, Sedgley, was given a three-year football banning order and fined £461.
PC Stuart Ward, football hate crime officer from West Midlands Police, said: "There is no place for discrimination in football, or society in general, and we will always fully investigate any reports we receive.
"There is no place for homophobia in football or society in general."
Pc Ward was appointed the UK’s first dedicated hate crime officer based within a football unit two years ago.
He is leading attempts to stamp out abuse both at football games and online abuse aimed at footballers and fans.
