Some of the fake darts flights
The flights carried the logos of Premiership clubs

A man who sold darts flights with counterfeit football club logos on eBay must pay back £9,020 or face jail.

Sean Catton, 36, from Greenfield, Flintshire was ordered to repay most of his £10,534 profit under the Proceeds of Crime Act or face six months jail.

Mold Crown Court previously heard how Manchester United FC officials raised the alarm when they saw counterfeit club darts advertised for sale online.

Catton admitted six charges and was placed on a nine-month community order.

This will involve 80 hours of unpaid work.
