Wolves fan banned for throwing a steak pie at West Ham fan says she had a coughing fit

Josephine Johnson, 44, was barred from Molineux for hitting   the West Ham supporter on the head with a chunk of steak pie   during her side’s 3-0 Premier League win.

But the mum of one, a lifelong supporter, yesterday begged for the three-year ban to be lifted and said it had all been an accident.

Josephine said: “I was just finishing the pie when Wolves scored. As I celebrated, the last bit got stuck in my throat and I had a coughing fit.

Josephine, of Rugeley, Staffs, insisted: “I’m not a football yob.”

“A piece of meat shot out and hit the West Ham fan below. I leaned over to apologise and he hurled abuse at me and called the stewards.”

When she was hauled before magistrates, sales rep Josephine admitted hurling a pie — but now claims she did so only on the advice of a solicitor who supported Wolves’ local rivals Aston Villa.
