The fight which occurred in March 2013 shows Manchester United supporter John Eyre, who admitted to consuming a gallon of ale, goading on a member of the ‘Where’s Wally’ party on travelators inside the station.

The video then shows the argument quickly escalating from a heated verbal exchange to full blown brawl involving members from both the Eyre family and the ‘Where’s Wally?’ party.

Both parties had been heavily consuming alcohol, with the Eyre party having visited several pubs that day, while the bachelor party starting at 10am on the Yorkshire Ale Trail.
The CCTV footage was released online on Saturday following the trial at the Manchester Crown Court.

According the Manchester Evening News, only one of the Wally impersonators, Steve Hargreaves, was found guilty of affray.

Meanwhile, Manchester supporters John Eyre, his sons and a family friend were also charged for affray.
