The release of the 11 new ‘wanted’ pictures follows dawn police raids last week which netted three arrests.

Police also released a further batch a CCTV images of suspects wanted for violent disorder.

Millions of TV viewers witnessed the hooliganism at Wembley during the match against Wigan in April, described as the worst violence seen at the stadium since it opened six years ago.

Detective Chief Inspector Andy Barnes, who is leading the investigation, said: "We have had had an excellent response from the public after last week and managed to identify 26 of the 27 people featured in the images.

“Some have since handed themselves in to police, and to date, we have arrested 43 people. “

So far three people have been charged and 29 released on police bail pending further inquiries.

DCI Barnes added: “The investigation team is working through many more calls and analysing CCTV footage to identify all those involved in the disorder. We expect to make further arrests.

"Any disorder at football matches is completely unacceptable. People attending matches expect to be able to do so in a safe and friendly environment.

"Our message is clear- violence at football is unacceptable. If you were involved in the violence come forward and speak with us. We will pursue all those responsible."
