Wealdstone fan Gordon Hill, aka the Wealdstone Raider, met a city centre cop in Manchester.
What happened?
The 49-year-old was pictured alongside police community support officer Dan at Piccadilly Garden's police pod. GMP's city centre team tweeted the image, joking about the state of the area. The tweet read: 'Potential trouble-maker in Piccadilly Gardens - the 'Wealdstone Raider'.'

Hill was catapulted to fame when footage of him confronting a rival fan at a Wealdstone match was posted on YouTube. He has since released a single and tours the country making appearances.
