Millwall thugs face five-year bans for taunting Leeds over deaths in Istanbul
Millwall will dish out five-year bans to anyone caught taunting Leeds fans about the deaths of two supporters in Turkey.
The Lions' 3-2 win over the Yorkshire outfit on Saturday was marred by sections of the home support waving Turkey and Galatasaray flags and shirts in sick reference to two fatal stabbings 11 years ago.
Leeds fans Christopher Loftus and Kevin Speight were murdered the night before their side played Galatasaray in a UEFA Cup semi-final in Istanbul.
Three people have already been banned after being thrown out of The Den and Millwall chief executive Andy Ambler said: 'Following similar incidents at last year's game, we had a crackdown on people bringing such items to the game.
'Anybody caught with Turkey or Galatasaray flags were either denied entry or ejected. Their details were also taken and as a result three fans have been handed club bans, which last for five years at least. 'We do not condone this behaviour.'
The 2,200 travelling supporters were also taunted by chants of 'Istanbul' while police made six arrests at the all-ticket game - all Leeds fans.
