POLICE investigating violence at West Ham's Millwall tie in August are to release a photo gallery of 66 people they want to speak to.

Fights broke out at Hammers' Upton Park stadium as hundreds of fans confronted each other before the match.

More than 200 riot officers were pelted with missiles and the pitch was invaded three times during the clash on August 25.

Three men were left requiring hospital treatment following the violence, including a 43-year-old man, who was stabbed.

DCI Richard Tucker, who is leading the investigation into the disorder, will feature on Crimewatch tonight (Wednesday) to repeat appeals to the public to come forward with information.

He said: “The level of disorder witnessed that night was absolutely unacceptable and not at all in the spirit of what football matches are all about.

“We are not talking about minor offences here, but a hardcore of individuals who were intent on causing violence and destruction.

“Those who played a part in the events of that night should know we are making every effort to arrest them and hold them accountable for their actions.”

Some of the images from the gallery will appear on the show, and all 66 are set to appearing on the Crimewatch website at bbc.co.uk/crimewatch.

The gallery is also shortly to be posted on the 'Caught on Camera' section of the Met's website at met.police.uk/caught_on_camera, the Crimestoppers 'Most Wanted' page at crimewatch-uk.org/wanted and the official West Ham FC website at whufc.com.

An investigation team was set up in Stratford following the violence, working under the name Operation Balconi.

Officers have trawled through hours of CCTV footage in a bid to identify all those involved.

A total of 41 people have now been arrested in connection with the incident, 29 have been charged, ten are on bail, and two have been released with no further action.

Anyone who recognises any of those pictured, or who has information, is asked to contact the inquiry team at Newham on 8217 5039, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
