'The abuse is getting WORSE': Tottenham star Eric Dier reveals fan insults at English grounds are so vile that his family will no longer go to away games - and it is more of a problem now than when he jumped into the crowd to confront a supporter in 2020

Tottenham star Eric Dier has revealed abuse at English football grounds has become so bad that some of his family no longer go to games.

Dier famously jumped in to the crowd at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium two and half years ago to confront a fan who was abusing his brother.

But the 28-year-old revealed on Tuesday that he believes supporter behaviour towards players has only got worse since then.

'I had some family and friends at the Chelsea away game with Tottenham recently and they had problems and stuff,' Dier said.
