Victim's mother says she will never forgive the killers of her 'shy and timid' son
Judge Rebecca Poulet lifted an anonymity order on the 17-year-olds saying: "It is difficult to think of a more grave case."
Mr Fitzpatrick's mother Constance said in a statement she did not know why the group were allowed to terrorise the neighbourhood for so long.
She said she would never be able to forgive the killers of her "shy and timid" loving son.
Mrs Fitzpatrick said the group of youths were always hanging around a corner shop. She added:
"I feel angry they have been unchecked to roam the streets. They have been a violent and constant intimidating presence in this community."
The father and son had been watching Chelsea win the Champions League final in their local pub, the Ox and Gate, in May last year.
Later, the pub was "stormed" by at least 15 masked and hooded youths armed with sticks and knives, said prosecutor Brian Altman QC.
The attackers were looking for a man who had already left the pub in Dollis Hill, north London, to avenge Christopher Walters' loss of face during an earlier incident.
Regulars at the pub chased the group out but as they reached Alder Grove, they turned and attacked Luke Fitzpatrick who was nearest to them. Mr Altman added:
"His father Bernard was stabbed several times as he was aiding his dying son where he had fallen."
"This mindless violence led to a terrible and tragic outcome. An innocent young man lost his life and his father had to witness it."
Mr Fitzpatrick had been stabbed in the abdomen and legs but had not died.
Mr Altman said Walters was responsible for organising the disorder and had led the group into the pub, uttering threats and brandishing a knife.
Earlier in the day, Walters had been involved in a row with the other man in the street.
It spread to a corner shop where staff ejected the second man and pulled the shutters down to shelter Walters.
Mr Altman told the trial: "Walters did not let matters rest there. He set about exacting his revenge by calling to arms his friends and associates. They stormed the pub. These were acts of cowardice, mob-handed and tooled up, to avenge Walters' perceived loss of face."
Rafael Dejesus, 25, was found guilty of assisting an offender, and Ali Abdullah, 20, Mustafa Bereima, 20, Hamad Abdullah, 26 were found guilty of violent disorder. They will be sentenced with the others.
25 year old stabbed by mob
Three men have been found guilty of killing an Arsenal supporter who had been having a drink with his father while they watched a football match in a pub.
Roofer Luke Fitzpatrick, 25, died after he was chased by a mob and stabbed in the chest.His father Bernie, 56, was then stabbed several times as he tried to help his dying son. He was taken to hospital and recovered.
23 year old Christopher Walters from Neasden, and 17 year old Loen Burton from Mill Hill were found guilty of murder and wounding.
Abdi Hassan, 17, of Warren Road, Cricklewood, was found guilty of manslaughter and wounding.
They were remanded in custody for sentencing on June 7 at the Old Bailey.
Chelsea and Arsenal could face each other in Champions League play-off
The Premier League has confirmed that Chelsea and Arsenal could have to play against each other at the end of the season to decide who qualifies directly for the Champions League group stage. Chelsea are currently third in the table while Arsenal are a place behind.
Arsenal beat Wigan 4-1 yesterday which means if the Gunners win their final game of the season and Chelsea draw, the teams will finish level on points. They could also finish equal on goal difference and goals scored so a play-off would be needed.
Only the team that finishes third qualifies for the Champions League group stage automatically, the fourth-placed team has to go through a qualifying round. The rules say the game would have to be played at a neutral venue.
