Football yob sentenced for mocking Munich air disaster in video

A FOOTBALL yob was handed a suspended jail term yesterday for mocking the Munich air disaster in an official music video to mark his side’s FA Cup game with Manchester United.

James Butler, 19, was spotted by United fans making offensive miming gestures about the 1958 tragedy after the video was posted on the internet.

The song was filmed at non-league Crawley Town’s ground in West Sussex last month and was a reworking of The Specials’ hit, A Message To You, Rudy, adapted by musician Mike Dobie with the new title A Message To You, Rooney.
