Greece took to the streets celebrating their win over Portugal

Andy Cook, 32, erected a three-tier stand at the back of his terrace house in Norwich, Norfolk, so friends could pay to watch the games on a 30-inch TV.

But prior to Sunday's final, Mr Cook received a letter from UEFA accusing him of abusing broadcast rights.

It said by asking for cash - which was for a charity - he broke UEFA rules.

Europe's football governing body has also lodged an order with the High Court preventing him from showing any more matches.

More than 40 people paid donations to watch the games from Mr Cook's "grandstand" - an initiative which raised more than �1,000 for the Davenport Trust, a charity supporting young people with depression.

"I didn't realise I was doing anything wrong," he said.

"All I was trying to do was raise some money for charity. I wasn't selling tickets for a fixed price but just asking for a sensible donation.

"Everyone really enjoyed it. I was really shocked when I got the letter from UEFA because all we were doing was having a laugh."

Mr Cook said the letter warned he could face a fine if he showed the Euro 2004 final after he put one ticket up for sale on internet auction site eBay.

"The grandstand has been dismantled now and it won't be re-erected until I've checked out all the rules and regulations properly," he said.

UEFA spokesman William Gaillard said Mr Cook was violating exclusive broadcasting rights.
