A Newcastle fan who "shook his penis" at Spurs supporters has been banned from attending games for three years.
Keith Steinmetz pleaded guilty in June to one count of exposure and a public order offence after dropping his trousers and flashing a group of home fans during a Premier League match at Wembley Stadium on May 9.
The 58-year-old admitted to reacting with "sheer stupidity" to the taunting of Spurs fans when the hosts claimed a 1-0 victory towards the end of last season.
Steinmetz, who works as a youth team football coach, was also given a six-month community order and fined £600 for the offence.
The Newcastle season ticket holder claimed that he had been drinking on the afternoon in question but contested the football banning order, which was applied this week and subsequently enforced by District Judge Bernard Begley.
Steinmetz has also been reported to the FA.
