A football fan has been fined for attacking a steward with an inflatable toy fish.

Grimsby Town supporter Kenneth Meech, 50, was given a 12-month conditional discharge and ordered to pay the steward £100 in compensation.

Meech had denied the charge, saying he had not displayed any physical violence whatsoever.

Grimsby Town are know as The Mariners because of the town's historic links to the fishing industry.
