CORRIE star Thomas Craig is a football thug, The Sun can reveal.
Sheffield Wednesday fan Craig — who played hardman Tommy Harris — was fined £500 this week for brawling with rival yobs.
The 42-year-old ex-plumber traded blows with Ipswich supporters in the early hours ahead of his side’s 2-1 Championship defeat in the Suffolk town last month.
Street scene ... Tommy with daughter Katy
Ipswich magistrates heard Craig — who also appeared in Soldier Soldier and Peak Practice and played Simon Goddard in Where the Heart Is — had been staying in Suffolk with pals. The town centre fight broke out after officers struggled to keep apart two gangs at 3.20am.
The court was told one of Craig’s friends had allegedly been knocked down by a van carrying Ipswich fans a few hours earlier. Craig, charged under his real name Craig Thompson, admitted threatening behaviour.
Last night his agents refused to comment.
Sheffield-born Craig of Wandsworth, South West London, featured in an explosive Corrie plot in March.
