Leeds United supporters named as worst offending football fans when travelling on trains

Leeds United supporters are officially the most troublesome football fans in the country, getting caught up in more incidents onboard trains than any other club.

Fans of Neil Redfearn's side were involved in 77 incidents dealt with by police on trains over the last two seasons - almost twice as much as any other team in the top two flights of English football.

The British Transport Police (BTP) figures, released in response to a Freedom of Information request sent by The Sun, show Manchester United to have the worst behaved supporters in the Premier League.

Their fans were involved in 37 incidents, ahead of Manchester City (30), Sunderland (28) and Newcastle United (27).

The worst cases to have taken place on the railway network were four woundings and four cases of grievous bodily harm.

BTP said: "A small minority (of fans) engage in violence."

Five Chelsea supporters accused over racist chanting on the Paris Metro ahead of their Champions League game against PSG are currently going through the courts to contest a banning order.

A group of Chelsea fans were filmed singing racist chants and refusing to let a black man onboard the train.
