Banned Chelsea fan Dean Callis admits he 'won't miss football'

Chelsea supporter Dean Callis admits that he will not "miss football at all" after he was issued with a banning order for acts of violence and disorder.

Chelsea supporter Dean Callis has admitted that he will not "miss football at all" after he was handed a football banning order for committing several acts of violence and disorder.

The former rugby player, whose offences date back to 2009, was handed the punishment at Stratford Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.

The 32-year-old appeared alongside four men - Jordan Munday, 20, Josh Parsons, 21, William Simpson, 26, and 50-year-old Richard Barklie, all of whom were also given banning orders for a separate offence.

The foursome were punished for their roles in racially abusing and shoving a black man to prevent him from boarding a Paris Metro train before Chelsea's Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain in February, but Callis has insisted that he has no link with the fans.

"The most frustrating thing is there is such clear evidence to show you I was not a part of it," Callis told the Daily Star. "People come up to me in the street and say you were involved - it is not very nice. I have not got a racist bone in my body."

Callis, who previously played rugby in Italy and France, had been attending Chelsea games since he was 16.
