Former Bristol City striker Louis Britton received vile death threats in the wake of playing against his former club on Monday.
The 21-year-old ex-Robin academy prospect called out a number of Waterford supporters on social media after he was targeted following Cork City's 0-0 draw in their Irish First Division game.
Britton enjoyed a successful loan stint with Waterford where he scored 10 goals in 17 matches but opted against joining them permanently in June, instead signing for their league rivals Cork until the end of the Irish season in October. His Twitter feed was then flooded with comments of snake emojis following the announcement.
