Football Fan Receives 3-Year Ban for Racial Abuse

Harry Dunbar, a football fan, has been issued a three-year ban from attending matches after admitting to racially abusing former Tamworth striker Chris Wreh following an FA Cup defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, according to the Football Association.

Dunbar, aged 20 and residing in Whiteley, was sentenced at Portsmouth Magistrates Court. Along with the banning order, he received a 12-month Community Order featuring 200 hours of unpaid work and 10 days of rehabilitation activities.

The FA expressed support for the ruling, highlighting a strong stance against discrimination. Wreh, upset by the club's lack of public condemnation, refused to play after the incident.
