Tragedy chants United fan tells of 'deep shame'

A UNITED fan told a court he felt 'deeply ashamed' after he was caught 'tragedy chanting' and making vile gestures mocking Liverpool supporters.

Michael Avery, 45, a construction industry worker, spoke up after he admitted a single public order offence when he appeared at Manchester and Salford magistrates court yesterday.

Avery was captured mocking Liverpool fans during an FA Cup match at Old Trafford last month by making well-known gestures concerning the Hillsborough and Heysel stadium disasters.

The footage, which went viral online, caused upset among supporters of both Liverpool and United.

Avery admitted he was 'deeply ashamed' when he appeared in court.

Asked if he had anything to say, he told magistrates: "I just want to reiterate I'm deeply sorry. I really regret what I did. I'm ashamed and embarrassed."

He added: "I wish it never would have happened. I regret it terribly... I hope other people look at what happened to me and they think twice before they do anything at football matches."
