A Millwall fan who was caught on TV hiding a police helmet under his jacket during clashes between supporters and the police at his side's FA Cup semi final on Saturday has told ITV News he is "disgusted" by his behaviour.

A total of 14 fans were arrested following scuffles at the Millwall-Wigan semi-final at Wembley - 12 of those were Millwall fans and two were from Wigan.

During the second half of their 2-0 defeat by Wigan, Millwall fans began fighting with each other behind the goal in disturbing scenes, which left youngsters in tears and were witnessed by millions on television.

Lifelong fan Tony Shannon said he was a "bit drunk" at the game and at the time "thought it was funny" to take the helmet out of the stadium, but now regrets his actions and says he has been "cringing" ever since.
