An investigation has been launched after a Darlington footballer was allegedly subjected to vile racist abuse by a fan during a clash against Spennymoor.
Spennymoor Town welcomed Darlington to Brewery Field on Saturday for a game that ended 1-1 after full-time. However, the match turned sour after Darlington player and former Spennymoor player Adriano Moke was allegedly racially abused by a fan in the stands.
In a statement, Spennymoor Town said it "abhors discrimination in all of its forms" and "will not tolerate" this sort of behaviour. The club is now looking to identify those responsible and said they will look to ban fans from the stadium for life if they're found to have acted in such a way.
