14-year-old banned for life from AFC Telford ground after object thrown at opposition player
A 14-year-old AFC Telford fan has been handed a lifetime ban by the club, after throwing an object in the direction of the opposition's goalkeeper.
A teenager was removed from the New Bucks Head on Saturday after an object was thrown in the direction of Coalville Town FC's goalkeeper, Paul White.
The match between AFC Telford and Coalville came to a brief halt while the referee removed the object, which appeared to be a disposable vape, from the pitch.
Now, a spokesperson from AFC Telford United has said the 14-year-old has been handed a lifetime ban from the New Bucks Head and reminded supporters of their "zero-tolerance policy".
