On January 21, 2019, the Cardiff City player’s jet crashed into the English Channel, killing him.
August 6 at Elland Road, during Leeds United’s game against Cardiff City, Harry Keyes, 22, of Huddersfield Road, Mirfield, was taken into custody.
Leeds magistrates imposed a three-year football ban on him.
Keyes entered a guilty plea to a Section 5 public order offense, which involved using derogatory, abusive, or threatening language or actions to annoy, threaten, or upset someone.
West Yorkshire Police claimed that he was arrested after he was observed at the match making airplane motions.
“Directing chants, comments, or gestures that refer to tragic incidents at rival fans is highly offensive and can cause genuine distress to those affected by those incidents,” stated Ch Insp Pete Hall, who oversaw the policing operation throughout the game.It has no place in football at all, and fans should know that the clubs and the authorities will take any instances of that nature very seriously.”
Along with the £85 prosecution costs and the £43 victim surcharge, Keyes was also fined £107.
