Hull Man Faces Jail After Illegally Entering Wembley for Champions League Final

Steven Carruthers, a 34-year-old from Hull, pleaded guilty to dishonestly obtaining services after he and his four-year-old son illegally gained access to the VIP area of Wembley Stadium during the Champions League final. The pair mingled with celebrities, including Naomi Campbell and Oleksandr Usyk, and watched the match from exclusive seats valued at over £20,000, which are typically reserved for select VIPs and not available to the general public. Carruthers reportedly wore a suit to appear entitled to the hospitality package and later boasted about his actions in national publications, expressing no remorse for the offense. Prosecutors highlighted that he involved his young son in the scheme and publicized his actions, factors seen as aggravating. The court was reminded of the seriousness of such breaches, especially in light of previous mass disorder incidents at Wembley. Carruthers now faces the possibility of jail time for his actions.
