A man has pleaded guilty to assaulting Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson at a London railway station. Kevin Reynolds, 43, admitted punching Sir Alex in the groin before butting a police community support officer.

Sir Alex, who was born in Glasgow, is not believed to have been badly hurt.

Reynolds, of no fixed address, was charged with actual bodily harm, assault and two public order offences.

Adeola Olowu, defending, said her client initially thought he had come across a Sir Alex look-alike.

She said her client was joking around and that he struck Sir Alex while shadow boxing.
