Kevin Kilbane, a former Republic of Ireland international who played with Everton in the English Premier League, reported West Ham supporters to the English Football Association for derogatory chants against Tottenham’s Harry Kane during Sunday’s game.
The former winger, who now works for the BBC, was not at the game but was shocked to hear “mong” chants had been sung at the game.
Kilbane was told about the chants by Andy Merriman — a Tottenham season-ticket holder whose daughter lives with Down’s syndrome. Kilbane’s daughter Elsie has the same condition and he is a patron of the Down’s Syndrome Association.
