Sergeant Adrian Dack, from Cleveland Police’s football operations unit, said: “Our investigation into disorder at the Middlesbrough FC v Derby County FC game is continuing and there have been a number of males already spoken with in connection with this.

“We need to now appeal to identify these males in the images, and the public are now key in helping us do that. Some are believed to be local and some may have travelled up for the game. If you know anyone in these images, I encourage you to make contact with us.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Cleveland Police on 101, quoting incident number 023897. Independent charity Crimestoppers can also be contacted anonymously by calling 0800 555 111.
