Online threats targeted at James McClean revealed by wife Erin

Campaigners yesterday called for a crackdown on anti-Irish racism.

Erin McClean has revealed some of the abuse her husband, Ireland international James McClean, receives over the annual poppy controversy.

McClean chooses not to take part in the poppy commemoration for deceased members of the British armed forces due to their role in The Troubles and, in particular, the Bloody Sunday massacre in Derry, McClean's hometown.
