Wakey, are you bad on the train?

Leeds United supporters named as worst offending football fans when travelling on trains

Fans of the Championship club have been caught up in more incidents onboard trains than any other English club, while Manchester United top the Premier League table

Leeds United supporters are officially the most troublesome football fans in the country, getting caught up in more incidents onboard trains than any other club.

Fans of Neil Redfearn's side were involved in 77 incidents dealt with by police on trains over the last two seasons - almost twice as much as any other team in the top two flights of English football.

The British Transport Police (BTP) figures, released in response to a Freedom of Information request sent by The Sun, show Manchester United to have the worst behaved supporters in the Premier League.<!--[endif]-->
