Eric Dier has warned English football has such a “serious problem” with crowd behaviour he has banned his mum from going to away games.
Dier was given a four game ban and £40,000 fine after he climbed into the crowd to protect his brother Patrick from being threatened and abused during a game at Tottenham in March 2020.
England defender Dier also revealed members of his family and friends even took stick when Tottenham played at Chelsea last month which comes on the back of a worrying rise in violence and pitch invasions last season.
