(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright)
MANCHESTER, Sept. 14.
The English League soccer champion, Manchester United, has banned eight young supporters, aged from 15 to 21, from its ground for the rest of the season.
The ban was imposed for “obscene chanting” behind a goal during the club’s last home match.
The manager, Mr Mat Busby, said: “We have taken this step because we cannot have a minority spoiling things for everyone else and damaging the reputation of the club.”
