Leeds fans vent fury on Gregan's wife, son

Sean Gregan is considering his future at Elland Road after his pregnant wife and son were targeted by angry fans.

A small group of thugs surrounded Gregan’s car an hour after Saturday’s 2-0 home defeat to Leicester to vent their fury at Leeds’ current plight, leaving wife Melissa and 14-month-old son in tears.

“There’s a line people shouldn’t cross and this is most definitely it – what happened on Saturday was horrendous,” said Gregan, signed from West Brom in a £500,000 (€722,000) deal in September.

“These people waited over an hour to abuse me and my family. I can handle any criticism, but when it’s your family that are being sworn at it is out of order. My wife is due to give birth next weekend and I had my 14-month-old son with me.

“I don’t want to complain about supporters, but picking on my wife and a little boy is beyond belief – it makes you wonder if it’s all worth it,” Gregan told the Yorkshire Evening Post.
