A Manchester City fan has received a four-year football banning order after taunting Aston Villa goalkeeper Robin Olsen.
Paul Colbridge, 37, from Salford, approached Olsen after City beat Villa to seal the Premier League title
Representing himself in court, Colbridge told the magistrates: "It was a stupid act and something I regretted immediately.
"To me, it was fuelled by alcohol. The following Monday I sought out someone from the club and sent an apology by email. I also apologised on one of the City forums.
"It was a moment of madness. Pure elation. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I have been going to City for 20-odd years, I'm a season ticket holder and I've never been on the pitch before."
