At a previous hearing, he was banned from attending future World Cup matches, his passport was withheld, and he was released on 500 rand bail.

Joseph was arrested on June 20 at the Bay Hotel in Camps Bay after a police investigation in which officers analysed CCTV footage from the Green Point stadium in Cape Town.

He told a Sunday newspaper he was looking for a toilet after the Algeria match when a security guard sent him in the direction of the players’ tunnel.

After taking a wrong turn, he found himself in the changing room where he says he told David Beckham: “David, we’ve spent a lot of money getting here. This is a disgrace. What are you going to do about it?”

The intrusion, which happened minutes after Princes William and Harry left, prompted the Football Association (FA) to make an official complaint to World Cup organiser Fifa.

A spokeswoman for the UK policing team in South Africa has said a football banning order would not be pursued because the incident was not linked to violent behaviour.

Joseph, a life-long England and Manchester United supporter, told the Sunday Mirror that when Beckham asked him who he was, he responded: “I’m Pavlos and I actually need the toilet.”

He said he then addressed the players, who were sitting on benches with towels around their waists.

“I told them: ’That was woeful and not good enough’. The room was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop. The players’ chins were on their chests – they looked pretty ashamed,” he said.

The story is reminiscent of the “Smithy” sketch performed by James Corden, in which the comedian confronts the players to psyche them up.
