Simon David Healey was upset after being told he could not return to the position at Barrow AFC after the club found out about his conviction in the media, Furness Magistrates’ Court was told on Tuesday.
The 47-year-old, of Abbey Road, Barrow, pleaded guilty to two charges of assault by beating.
Mr Peter Kelly, prosecuting, explained that the defendant lived in a residence for adults living independently with learning difficulties.
On August 8, after returning from Holker Street disappointed, Healey had become angry. He threw a ketchup bottle at Laura Storey, the same care worker he had pushed and thrown a lunchbox at on a previous occasion, swearing and calling her a “grasser”. Healey then threw a chair in her direction.
When another resident tried to intervene, he also grabbed her by the wrist. At one point, Mr Kelly said, the defendant was stood over one of the two victims holding a pool cue “in an intimidating manner”.
In police interview, Healey acknowledged what he had done was wrong and said he had “exploded”.
Mr Trystan Roberts, defending, explained Healey’s various medical difficulties to the court and told how important his stewarding role had been to him.
He said: “It was a constructive use of time, it was a positive use of time, it was good for him and that was taken away from him.”
Healey was ordered to pay £50 compensation to each of his two victims, plus £150 criminal court charges.
His conditional discharge for the previous assault still stands.
