The plaintiff sought damages after being injured by a piece of concrete thrown by a hooligan at a football match.
Held: Where a land owner could reasonably expect that visiting fans might use broken off pieces of concrete and hurl them at others, and did not ensure that such pieces were removed, it could be liable in damages as occupier.
