AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Dutch police will use a television programme on Tuesday to try and identify hooligans who attempted to attack family and friends of West Ham United players in Alkmaar last week.

Police say identifiable photos of suspects involved in the attack at the conclusion of Thursday’s Europa Conference League semi-final second leg between AZ Alkmaar and the London club had been collated and would be broadcast with the public asked to help identify them.
