“I would like to thank Rio for his assistance in this investigation. Through his support, we’ve ensured a man has this conviction to his name.”
A man has been convicted of racially abusing ex-Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand whilst he was working as a pundit during one of his former club's matches.
Wolves fan Arnold, of Stone, Staffordshire, was arrested at the scene. He was charged with a racially aggravated public order offence, which he denied. “Arnold is old enough to know such appalling behaviour is inexcusable and certainly won’t be tolerated. I know from personal experience how being a victim of racism hurts while offenders risk their own aspirations through getting a criminal record.
Arnold was previously banned from games for three years after being found guilty of homophobic abuse and making gestures which mimicked disability during the same game.
