- Gareth Carr
Saints youngster Joe Sharratt was left permanently deaf in one ear after being attacked by bouncers outside a Manchester nightclub.
One of the blows to Mr Sharratt was delivered to the face by "powerfully built" doorman Gareth Carr which knocked him unconscious as he fell backwards and hit his head on the ground.
Carr, of Denbigh Road, Denton, was jailed for 21 months after he pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to causing grievous bodily harm and affray.
His colleagues, Amjad Yasin, 38, Imran Ilyas, 41, Lee Clark, 42, Mohammed Saleem, 22, and Javd Solimanbolagh, 25, all received suspended sentences after they too admitted affray and must also each perform 150 hours of unpaid work in the community.
Solimanbolagh, of Higher Lane, Whitefield, and Saleem, of Kingsway, Manchester, each received 18 months; Yasin, of Latimer Street, Oldham, and Ilyas, of Gainsborough Avenue, Oldham, were given 15 months each and Clark, of Epson Avenue, Sale, received a 17-month term.
All their sentences were suspended for two years.

- John Beirne
Former mayor of St Helens John Beirne has been jailed for 16 months after trying to stand for election while disqualified.
Beirne, 59, who has previously been convicted of sexual offences, has been jailed after he changed his name in a bid to get re-elected.
In June 2017 at Liverpool Crown Court, John Beirne – a former mayor of St Helens – received a 16 month prison sentence, suspended for two years, after pleading guilty to historic sexual offences.
He must now serve the 16-month prison sentence.
