A BOOZY football fan was stabbed to death in a bar after he sang sick chants about the Munich Air Disaster.
Manchester City supporter Vincent Collins shocked regulars with a terrace song about the 1958 plane crash which killed eight stars from local rivals United.
A barman asked him to stop but Collins, 44, ignored him and instead punched local Paul Moores in the face.
Moores left the pub in Cheadle Hulme, Gtr Manchester, but returned soon afterwards and stabbed the dad of three in the back – shouting: “You won't be hitting me again,†a court heard.
Collins, of Stockport, died in hospital with a single stab wound.
Moores, 46, denied murder at Manc-hester Crown Court, claiming he could not recall arming himself or stabbing the victim.
But he was convicted of murder and given life.
He must serve a minimum of 15 years.
Det Insp Terry Sweeney said: “This was a senseless killing. Vincent didn't deserve such a cold-blooded attack.â€
