Another 20 suspected hooligans have been charged following a violent battle between rival football fans in Fulham.

Police have now rounded up 49 people believed to have been involved in the mayhem, which happened after Chelsea played Cardiff City on Saturday, February 13.

Brawling supporters had to be kept apart for 20 minutes near Fulham Road, and missiles rained down in Kings Road, where one police officer was injured after being hit in the face with a brick.

Investigations have been ongoing following the fifth round FA Cup final match at Stamford Bridge, with several operations to arrest suspects around the country.

The latest, all charged with affray or violent disorder within the last two weeks, include John Saward, 50, of Shepperton in Middlesex, and Welsh fans Lee Simmonds, 37; Andrew Pritchard, 24; Samual Johnson, 20; Ryan Churchill, 25; Morgan Anderson, 19; Jai Head, 36; Hayden Baker, 46; Ian Thomas, 25; Gareth Green, 26; and Michael Thorne, 35.

Also charged with violent disorder are Welsh supporters Neil Teconi, 33; Mark Evans, 38; Steve O'Hara, 31; Paul O'Hara, 36; Phillip Newman, 23; Robert Connolly, 45; Chris Western, 30; Lee Eagan, 19; and Nathan Marshallsea, 21.

All were bailed to appear at West London Magistrates' Court in Hammersmith next Friday (16).

Lee Hilton, 39, of Angmering in Littlehampton on the south coast, was charged last month with violent disorder and causing grievous bodily harm to a police officer.

The other 28 men from around London, the south east and the Midlands were all arrested in April or June, and either bailed pending further enquiries, or charged with violent disorder or affray. Those charged will also appear at the magistrates' court next Friday (16).
