A BURNLEY fan banned from attending football matches has been charged with failing to give his passport to police ahead of the World Cup.

Norman Jones is one of 65 people in Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale who were asked to hand in their passport in a bid to prevent disorder at football's showpiece tournament.

The 65 fans, who have all been subject to football banning orders, had to give police their passports by Tuesday, or sign a statement telling police they had no passport.

But police have charged Jones with failing to comply with a football banning order because they said they did not receive his passport by Tuesday.

He is due to appear before magistrates on Monday.

Jones was given a three-year football banning order last year for breaking a previous order when he went to watch the fifth round Cup clash between Burnley and Blackburn at Ewood Park, in March.

At the time, Burnley magistrates heard the 54-year-old, of Earl Street, Colne, was sitting in the Darwen End with his two stepsons when a police spotter' identified Jones.

Jones was banned from entering Burnley town centre or the vicinity of Turf Moor three hours before and after Clarets home games as well as being barred from the town in which Burnley were playing in away games or for England internationals.

Across the country more than 3,200 people who have been given football banning orders were ordered to hand their passports to police.
