BRITAIN'S football policing chief says instances of fans being covered in alcohol at Euro 2024 matches underlines why drinking in the stands should remain banned in this country.

Chief Constable Mark Roberts issued an extremely positive update on fan behaviour at the Euros so far heading into England’s appearance in tomorrow’s final in Berlin.

He said there had been 66 arrests out of the estimated 200,000 fans who have travelled out to Germany at some stage during the tournament to date.
