Burnley magistrates heard how George Hedges, who had cocaine on him, said he had done it after a personal remark from a Clarets fan, who made reference to his build and size.

Hedges admitted throwing a missile at a spectators' area and possessing three wraps of a Class A controlled drug in the town, last December 30th.
