The fan was seen prancing down the touchline and taunting rival fans before he was surrounded by stewards. Seeing one of them, he then dived head-first at them as if to rugby tackle them. But the steward managed to catch the fan in a headlock and detain him on the floor. Other stewards arrived to help out before escorting him off the field. Fans reacting in the comments of the viral post said: “I remember when I had my first beer.” A second said: “No rugby tackle that he got countered into a headlock by the steward.” Most read in Sport CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS A third said: “More like WWE.” Another said: “It won’t be that funny when he gets his ban.” A fifth added: “Good sprawl by steward.” Automatic bans for Premier League and EFL pitch invaders have come into effect in recent years. Prior to the Swansea clash, Lincoln had released a statement reminding fans of their promotion of an inclusive experience for all. The statement said: “City joined other EFL clubs in the Love Football, Protect the Game campaign to educate supporters on the impact of anti-social behaviour and pitch incursions which can result in banning orders for the individuals concerned and significant fines being imposed on the club by the football authorities. “Regulation changes and tough new measures have been introduced which will see people who are found to have committed offences face stadium bans and potential criminal prosecution. “The game will also continue its efforts to combat dangerous, illegal and unwelcome behaviour off the pitch, be it in the stands or online. “Last season a host of new measures were introduced by authorities which saw enhanced sanctions applied for people identified entering the pitch, using pyros, taking drugs to games, throwing objects or for discriminatory abuse.” In January Lincoln were fined £16,000 by the FA for failing to control their fans during their Carabao Cup clash against Chelsea.
