Football thug Aaron Cawley who was banned from the terraces after attacking a player during a match is set to return to the scene of his crime.
The 22-year-old from Cheltenham slapped former England goalkeeper Chris Kirkland in the face during a televised match between Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds United in October 2012.
Cawley, who has a Leeds United Football Club tattoo on his neck, was given a 16-week jail sentence and a six-year football banning order.
Leeds United said the club intended to ban him from its Elland Road stadium for life.
But, 15 months later, he is claiming he “can’t wait” for the same fixture at Hillsborough stadium on Saturday and even tweeted a ticket he had bought for the match.
When questioned online about whether he could attend, Cawley replied: “I ain’t banned… Ban got overturned last week.”
Kirkland, who remains Sheffield Wednesday’s first-choice goalkeeper, said that he was “shocked, upset and angry” in a statement read out at Sheffield Magistrates’
