Police to probe Campbell abuse

Wed 01 Oct, 06:30 PM


Alleged racial and homophobic abuse by Tottenham fans towards former England defender Sol Campbell is to be probed by Hampshire Police.The Portsmouth captain was subjected to the alleged abuse during his team's 2-0 Premier League win over the London club at Fratton Park on

Sunday.

Hampshire Police initially said they would report the matter to the Football Association because it was not possible to make arrests due to the sheer numbers chanting.

Campbell, 34, is a hate figure for Spurs fans after he moved to north London rivals Arsenal in 2001.

A Hampshire police spokeswoman said the force had received one

complaint about the abuse.

"The complaint will be fully investigated but it is at an early stage,'' she said.

  3. I believe Campbell deserved the "treatment" he got and I agree with Barry. There was no racist claims and police will find nothing about that. Next thing they will tell fans they need to apply to get their songs approved before they can use them in stadiums..

  4. there was no racial abuse. redknapp is chipping in now saying it was raacial as well which is a lie. why are they lying. redknapp is a corupt shister who should have been kicked out of the game years ago so he is a fine one to talk.
