Former footballer Jermain Defoe has said he is "appalled" by the football fan who made fun of cancer victim Bradley Lowery.Dale Houghton 31, pleaded guilty to a public order offence at Sheffield Magistrates' Court on Monday after pictures circulated on X, showing him laughing while holding up a picture of Bradley to the camera at a match between Sheffield Wednesday and Sunderland.
The six year old was a mascot for the team, with their fans often chanting his name at games and holding banners saying: “Cancer has no colours." "We will be working with the club to identity those responsible. Anyone with information is asked to get in touch online or by calling 101.”On X she said: “Understandably people are angry, if I wasn’t so upset I’d be angry too. Bradley was and still is well loved in the football community, which I’m eternally grateful for, but I must ask that everyone lets the police do their job.
