Eleven peopled, including two 15 year olds and a 13 year old boy, have been charged with chanting homophobic and racist remarks towards Portsmouth Football Club defender Sol Campbell during a match against Tottenham Hotspur. The incident took place on Sept 28, 2008 at Fratton Park in Portsmouth.

Pink News: “They were charged with indecent chanting at a football match using words which were essentially swearwords,” a police spokesperson said. “They weren’t appropriate to be used at all, especially where there were children and we received a number of complaints.”
