Reid slams Blackburn fans for Yorke racial abuse

REPUBLIC of Ireland international Steven Reid has condemned the Blackburn Rovers supporters who racially abused former team mate Dwight Yorke on Sunday.

But he stressed he had never been subjected to such treatment in his professional career.

Lancashire Police have launched a criminal investigation into allegations the Birmingham striker was racially abused during the match. Yorke confronted a fan he claimed was taunting him as he warmed up on the sideline.
