An online troll who racially abused Premier League star Ivan Toney has been banned from every UK football ground in a landmark ruling.
Antonio Neill, 24, called the England and Brentford striker a “black c***” in a sick racist message he posted on his own Facebook page on October 14, 2022. Police launched an investigation after the footballer shared an image of the abusive message on his Twitter account.
Officers treated the incident as a hate crime and traced the message to an address in North Shields, North Tyneside.
