THE GUARDIAN

Football fan convicted over Euro 2004 riot is expected to be extradited to Portugal within days after judicial review refused.

Football fan Garry Mann today lost his final legal battle against extradition to Portugal, where he faces a two-year jail sentence for his role in a riot at the Euro 2004 tournament.

Mann, a 52-year-old former firefighter from Kent, said outside court that he was devastated by the decision. Jago Russell, chief executive of Fair Trials International, which backed Mann's battle, said: "It really is the end of the road."
