SERIAL soccer yob Mark Mennim has been charged with breaching his stadium ban.

Just days after being hit with a three-year football banning order, the 48-year-old was arrested after allegedly failing to properly register his details with the authorities.

Mennim, who dubbed himself "the General" of Newcastle's notorious hooligan firm the Gremlins will now appear before magistrates on the charge and could face further penalties.

The thug, of Chatsworth Gardens, Walker, has a long history of footballrelated violence, having followed the Toon at home and abroad intent on causing trouble.

Mennim has had two banning orders, the first of which came in 2004, when he was stopped from travelling to Portugal to see England in the European Championships.

That expired in August 2006, and since then he has regularly been spotted with Newcastle's most notorious yobs at the scene of rucks involving the Gremlins.

At his latest court hearing, details of an incident that saw him emerge from Rosie's Bar Rosie's Bar was a tavern near the semi-fictional 4077th MASH unit on the TV series M*A*S*H. It was run by a Korean woman who had apparently assumed the name Rosie. Her real name is never revealed. , in Newcastle city centre, covered in blood before a match with Stoke stoke

And the court heard Mennim was also at the centre of disorder that flared when United played Stoke again last December. He was spotted in bars in Newcastle and Gateshead with a number of known "risk supporters" but trouble broke out in Wrekenton, Gateshead.

One officer later described the scene as 'carnage' and another said it was the worst violence they had seen in 17 years of service.
