ARSENAL Fan TV has cut ties with one of its best-known contributors after he was convicted of stalking and sent to prison.

Liam Goodenough, 42, better known as DT to followers of the YouTube channel, was told last week that the court of appeal had considered his sentence of 12 months too lenient, with judges extending it to a three-year jail term.

He last appeared on the fan channel on January 1, but had been convicted in November of stalking involving serious alarm or distress and kidnapping. He was handed a 12-month jail sentence.

Goodenough had used a phone tracking app to find his ex-girlfriend while she was on a date. She was made to believe he had a knife. He assaulted her companion and dragged her from a hotel room to his car. The woman escaped when a bystander intervened.

AFTV said in a statement this week: “We are utterly appalled and disgusted by his actions and totally condemn domestic abuse, or violence of any kind.

“DT had made us aware of personal issues in his life; however, we can unequivocally say that the extent of the information made public by the government today is new to us. DT will be offered absolutely no place on the channel again.”

DT had drawn a following for his expletive-peppered rants about Arsenal’s performance. AFTV was one of the first big fan channels to emerge as supporters turned to YouTube and other social media to share views, but it has proved divisive and at one stage a petition was drawn up to ban it from recording films outside the Emirates Stadium.
