An Aston Villa fan has been banned from attending matches for three years for racially abusing Chelsea and England star Raheem Sterling.
Timothy Hyslop, 54, shouted a racist slur when Sterling was on the ball during the first half of a Premier League game at Villa Park.
He made the vile comments during Chelsea's 2-0 win against Aston Villa on October 16 last year. Hyslop was quizzed by police after the game and charged with a racially aggravated public order offence.
Hyslop, of Burton, Staffordshire, appeared at Birmingham Magistrates' Court on Tuesday, January 17, where he pleaded guilty to the charge.
