MARTIN Anthony Hughes joined in rowdy celebrations of England's World Cup win over Argentina in Clitheroe town centre.

But when police tried to calm the situation he became abusive towards them and was eventually arrested.

Hughes, 23, of Bowland Prospect, Clitheroe, was bound over in £100 to keep the peace for six months.

A charge of being drunk and disorderly was withdrawn.

Richard Prew, defending, said the people involved in the 6.15pm incident had earlier watched the England game and all had been drinking to excess.

"What was going on was a rowdy celebration rather than anything more sinister," said Mr Prew.

"My client accepts that he shouldn't had said what he said."
