Remember the monkey chants aimed at the Manchester United midfielder Fred during the 2019 derby?
Or when Arsenal defender Rob Holding complained to the referee at Leeds last December, over the racist abuse aimed mid-match at Nicolas Pepe and Nuno Tavares? Maybe you recall the fan who threw a banana skin at Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang during the north London derby at the Emirates in 2019.
Or Antonio Rudiger ’s insistence, despite the police and the club failing to find the culprit, that he’d had a monkey gesture aimed at him at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium that year. Perhaps even the Burnley fan who flew that White Lives Matter banner over Turf Moor during the club’s game against Manchester City in 2020.
