| 3 year ban for Lamp pitch lout
THE drunken yob who threw a punch at Chelseas Frank Lampard was yesterday banned from every soccer ground in Britain for three years. Trainee architect Timothy Smith, 18, ran on the pitch at White Hart Lane after Tottenham Hotspurs 2-1 FA Cup quarter-final defeat last Monday. He failed to make contact with the Blues ace and was brought to the ground in a scuffle with stewards and players including Didier Drogba and Ashley Cole. Nathan Paine Davey, prosecuting, told Haringey Magistrates Court in North London: He said he had drunk a lot and had only vague memories of the match. He said he was deeply embarrassed and sorry for what he had done. District Judge Clive Wiles fined Smith, of Datchet, Berks, £300 plus £50 costs.
