Josef Smith, Wolves fan and Molineux season ticket holder has been found guilty of racial abuse during Chelsea’s 5-2 win in September, in which Tammy scored a hat-trick.

The racist slur was directed at Tammy Abraham. Moreover, the 40-year-old warehouse worker produced an “astonishing quantity” of spittle at Chelsea fans one tier below, as the witnesses have testified.

“The Chelsea player that scored happened to be black and he celebrated in front of the Chelsea fans who were below us.

“As he did that, I noticed a gentleman stood up and curled his fists under his armpits in a chimp-like gesture.

It certainly looked as if it was aimed towards the players on the pitch and the goalscorer.

“I believed it was a racist gesture towards the player.”

Smith will now serve 4-year-ban from Molineux.
