A Chelsea fan accused of racially abusing Raheem Sterling has denied using racist language in his insults towards the Manchester City attacker.
Colin Wing, 60, has admitted to berating Sterling during the Blues’ 2-0 victory, but insists that he called him a ‘Manc c***’ rather than a ‘black c***’.
Wing, of Beckenham, South-East London, has had his season ticket suspended and has reportedly lost his job amid a joint investigation by Chelsea and the Met police.
If racial abuse is proven, Wing is likely to receive a lifetime ban from the club.
