Coach’s march costs him a ban

– West Ham have suspended youth coach Mark Phillips after he took part in a controversial march last weekend, the Premier League club announced this week.

The Democratic Football Lads Alliance marched through central London on Saturday to protest against what their Facebook page said were “returning jihadists, veterans treated like traitors, thousands of AWOL migrants”, inadequate sentences for paedophiles and an “epidemic of gang and knife crime”. –
