FA Cup hooligan photos released

See all 32 photographs

Photographs of 32 suspected football hooligans have been published after trouble at an FA Cup match between Hull City FC and Millwall.

There were violent scenes at the game between the teams on 24 January at Hull's KC Stadium.

The men's images appear on the Most Wanted section of the Crimestoppers website.

Members of the public are urged to view the pictures and help police identify those involved.

Large numbers of rival fans ripped up seats during the match, which they used as missiles during Hull's 2-0 win.

The incident was condemned by both clubs. Crimestoppers said it was the first time photographs of suspected football hooligans had been published on the website.

Dave Cording, the organisation's director of operations, said: "We are urging the public to help the police by identifying these individuals who were involved in disrupting this football match.

"Most people who attend matches are there for the right reasons in getting behind their team and enjoying the game.

"Unfortunately there still exists an unpleasant minority of fans whose intention it is to cause criminal damage and incite violence.

"Please help us stop them. Any information passed to Crimestoppers is 100% anonymous. Just tell us what you know not who you are."
