Football fan gets suspended sentence after mocking mascot Bradley Lowery
Dale Houghton taunted Sunderland fans with picture on his phone of young supporter who died in 2017
A football supporter who mocked Sunderland fans with a photograph of mascot Bradley Lowery, who died from cancer aged six, has been given a suspended sentence as the judge described his actions as “utterly appalling” and “disgraceful”.
Dale Houghton, 32, taunted Sunderland fans with a picture of Lowery on his phone during a match against Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough Stadium in September.
