They were singing spurs racist song about his mam and dad all game.

I always thought it was pretty obvious that was a factor

All game they had sang about his mum being a prostitute and his dad washing elephants, it was pure poetry when he scored.

That run up the field was just very justified. Brilliant!!

Clear racist behaviour by Arsenal fans completely ignored by the FA & media at the time & up until last few weeks.

As he says not only was he abused he was punished by the FA for standing to his abusers. Led to a rule change & ban from the derby.

The abuse continued with the character assasination by the media.

Maybe we could find some of these articles from the time & ask how they came to those views when everyone else heard the abuse.
