The men, who all appeared at court in the city during a five-hour session, were imprisoned for between one and three months.

Alexander Booth, the youngest to be sentenced at 20, and Ian Hepworth, 41, were jailed for two months and three months respectively and banned from France for two years each after appearing in court on Monday in connection with the disorder.

Reacting to the sentence, Booth's father Chris, who was later seen in tears, said "I'll fight it" and "miscarriage".

Before being dealt with, Booth told the court: "I would like to say sorry to the police and to the people and city of Marseille. This is not like me; I'm not a violent person. I love my job and my family. I've never been involved in football hooliganism. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Later on Monday, it was revealed that four more England fans had been given prison sentences.
