An explosion of incidents at Premier League and FA Cup games has brought the homophobic 'rent boy' chant back into public attention.
The chant is aimed at players and managers who are linked with Chelsea and has been heard at three separate games in January. The FA is investigating the singing of the chant at Nottingham Forest's game with Chelsea, Everton's defeat to Manchester United, where it was directed at Blues legend Frank Lampard, and Manchester City's win over Chelsea.
A Liverpool fan was also recently fined after being charged with a homophobic hate crime for singing it at the FA Cup final last May. And it was also allegedly heard on Sunday as Tottenham beat Chelsea, with Spurs confirming one fan had been arrested for homophobic chanting.
