Sheffield Wednesday have been fined £12,500 and ordered to put an 'action plan' in place after Kasey Palmer was racially abused at Hillsborough last season.
The former Huddersfield Town loanee was playing for Coventry City in January's Championship match against the Owls when he was abused by a supporter who has since been banned from all football for five years, and from the club for life. Some supporters booed Palmer when the sides met shortly afterwards in the FA Cup. Edward Rabjohn was sentenced to a two-year community order and 200 hours of unpaid work for making the racist gesture.
In a statement, the Championship club said: “As a community-focused, family football club, we reiterate our condemnation of the abhorrent actions of this individual. 'We have an ongoing responsibility to ensure that supporters, and anyone purporting to be supporters, conduct themselves in the right manner at all times whilst following the team, home and away. You can help too – all supporters can confidentially report any unlawful matchday incident in real time by texting 07526 166907.
