THE net is closing on these football hooligans targeted by police following violent scenes during Boro's Uefa Cup campaign.

The 11 hooligans are the latest to be hunted by police following clashes between rival fans during Middlesbrough's first European match in the Czech Republic in September.

Officers recorded disturbing footage as trouble flared at Banik Ostrava's Bazaly ground between rival supporters on September 30.

Several people involved in the clashes have been traced.

Several banning orders of up to six years have been handed out by Teesside magistrates, which can exclude fans from all grounds in England and Wales.

The release of the images is the latest move to curb violence at matches by the Football Intelligence Unit, led by Detective Inspector Rob Donaghy.

In 12 months, the team has secured 55 banning orders, and officers have shared their techniques with other forces across the country.

Detective Sergeant Ian Fawcett pledged to leave no stone unturned in the hunt for hooligans.

He said: "We have been able to take 55 of the worst troublemakers off the terraces, with bans ranging from two to six years."

Det Insp Donaghy said: "The message is simple - there is no place for violence at a football match. We want it to be an enjoyable family day out without any trouble."

He told how evidence from high-profile matches, including during Euro 2004, has been used to gather intelligence against people.

He said: "There were a number of people from Teesside who were involved in disorder in Portugal, and we have used those incidents to help with our continued investigations."

Det Sgt Fawcett told how Cleveland Police were re-nowned for their successful approach. He said: "Our methods are seen and recognised as best practice. We have set up a databank of names of troublemakers. We know who those people are and we always take action."

He said most hooligans were respectable working men aged 20 to 50 who "snap" on match days.
