Millwall have banned a 13-year-old fan for “the foreseeable future” after he admitted verbally abusing Bolton’s Marvin Sordell during an npower Championship match last month.
The incident occurred during Millwall’s 2-1 win over Wanderers at the New Den on October 6 and led to an investigation involving both clubs and the Football Association.
Millwall today confirmed the teenager had admitted abusing Sordell and has subsequently issued a written apology to the player.
Given the boy’s age, Millwall have not imposed a life ban on the youngster and offered him a place on a ’Millwall for All’ educational program “in the hope that we can change his outlook on equality, racism and life in general”.
