Swindon Town footballers have slammed supporters who they accused of attacking them following their League Two play-off semi-final match at Port Vale last night.
Swindon defender Mandela Egbo branded as "scummy" home fans who surrounded some of the visiting players to taunt them and throw punches as football was marred by another outbreak of violence in a week of shame.
A Nottingham Forest fan was this week jailed for 24 weeks for headbutting Sheffield United player Billy Sharp after their Championship play-off semi-final at the City Ground earlier this week. This was just one of a number of incidents in a week that has prompted the Football League to promise swift action to contain the violence.
