A man has been charged over a video appearing to show a Newcastle United fan urinating on a Sunderland football statue.
The sculpture outside the Stadium of Light is in honour to Bob Stokoe, who managed Sunderland to FA Cup victory in 1973 having won it as a player with Newcastle in 1955.
A 21-year-old man has been charged with disorderly conduct and criminal damage, Northumbria Police said.
He is due before magistrates later.
Stokoe was born into a mining family near Prudhoe, Northumberland, and signed for Newcastle in 1947.
