A man who racially abused Brentford’s Ivan Toney on social media has become the first person to be banned from every English stadium under the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act.

Twenty-four-year-old Antonio Neill sent the message via Toney’s Instagram account in October last year, with the player sharing it publicly, prompting a police investigation.
