Trevor Sinclair

Let himself down badly, the club and media outlets won't touch him with a barge pole after that type of behaviour. Shame really cos he always seemed like an alright sort of bloke. How wrong you can be.

Yep,i've unfollowed him on twitter and everything.....
 
So if he was being racist toward the arresting officer (who according to the report his name is Gareth Evans) do we think Sinclair called him a Welsh ****?
From The Grauniad

When Sinclair was put in the back of the police van, he called the officer a “white …” followed by a swear word as the van doors slammed, the court was told.

Sinclair made further racist comments while in the back of the van and continued to be “obnoxious, aggressive and racist while being booked in”.

Evans’ statement concluded: “Sinclair’s behaviour following his arrest was awful. I’m not a racist. His behaviour was extremely racist.”

The district judge Jeff Brailsford told Sinclair: “In a truly civilised society racism has absolutely no place whatsoever. You have worked long hours to try to eradicate what is a real scourge in society. It’s also to enormous credit the work you do to try to get rid of racism.
 
Ah well, off to Talkshite for Trevor then.

Which is odd as fuck considering Trev's Mam is white.
 
If I could add my views into the mix.
I grew up with Trevor on hillock estate in whitefield in the 80s, lived round the corner from eachother , went to the same school, played in the same football teams and hung about in the same gang together with other kids on the estate.
I can say with absolute honesty that he suffered racist abuse quite a lot, him and his sister got it from older lads, parents, strangers, I've seen him get into fights on numerous occasions after being called horrible and degrading names, things a 10, 11, 12 year old should never have been subjected to.
Now I'm not saying what he did was right and that it was some kind of retribution but he got racially abused up until his early teens and I've no doubt he suffered it on and off the football pitch in his career.
He'd obviously reached boiling point and reacted and gave it back.
This incident might have absolutely nothing to do with what has gone on in his life and I'm not saying what he's done was justified but he had it tough growing up and no child whatever race, colour or creed should have had to endure what I witnessed in the 80s.

Pissed up, hit his missus, drove off pissed, bumped his car into someone. Police came. He racially abused them. Drunk. Pissed in the cop car. A very lean sentence. If one of us had done the same we would have been banged up.

No excuses. No sympathy.
