Aberdeen Ultras received 18 months in prison for throwing a seat at a player.

The seat throwing led to imprisonment

A football fan who seriously injured an 'Aberdeen' player has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for throwing a seat at his head. 'Aberdeen' fan David Gowns left defender Jack Mackenzie, 25, with permanent injuries and later attempted to shift the blame onto other club fans.

Gowns was convicted in Dundee court.

This incident serves as yet another reminder of the dangers of fan violence at sporting events. Leaving horrific consequences for players and undermining the spirit of the game, such incidents require serious attention from organizers and human rights advocates. Steps must continue to be taken to improve safety in stadiums to prevent similar situations in the future.
