Manchester City's tributes to Sir Bobby Charlton were undermined by a few supporters that the club is now looking to ban
Manchester City are appealing to their own fans for help in banning 'idiots' who sang offensive chants about the late, great Sir Bobby Charlton.
However, a handful of supporters were heard singing offensive chants about Charlton during the afternoon that prompted complaints from fellow Blues and a City source to slam them as "idiots who don't represent our club or our fans". A video circulating on social media showed one such chant being sung on an Etihad Stadium concourse.ALSO READ: Tributes pour in for Sir Bobby
"The club condemns these chants in the strongest terms, and apologises unreservedly to the family and friends of Sir Bobby, and to all those at Manchester United. On this day of all days, when the stadium stood to pay tribute to our own legend in Francis Lee, Manchester City supporters should understand and appreciate as keenly as anyone the need for respect in our game.
"Fans who see or hear abusive behaviour are encouraged to text 0770 0151 894 to make our dedicated security team aware of what they have witnessed."
