An Aston Villa fan has been banned from attending matches for three years for racially abusing Chelsea and England star Raheem Sterling.
Timothy Hyslop, 54, shouted a racist slur when Sterling was on the ball during the first half of a Premier League game at Villa Park. He made the vile comments during Chelsea’s 2-0 win against Aston Villa on October 16 last year.
Hyslop was quizzed by police after the game and charged with a racially aggravated section 5 public order offence. He appeared at Birmingham Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday (17/1) where he pleaded guilty to the charge.
