Three Spurs fans plead guilty to indecent chanting at ex-defender Sol
Targeted: Campbell pictured during the match against Spurs in September
Three men have pleaded guilty to indecent chanting directed by Tottenham fans at Portsmouth defender Sol Campbell.
A total of 11 men, including three juveniles, appeared at Portsmouth Magistrates' Court for alleged racist and homophobic chanting.
The charges relate to chants made at Campbell during the match at Fratton Park on September 28.
Richard Gibbs, 36, of Ormonde Road, Wokingham, Berkshire, Stuart Turner, 34, of Queen Street, Wellington, Telford, Shropshire, and Oliver Sylvester, 28, of High Street, Southampton, all pleaded guilty to indecent chanting.
Dean Nelson, 23, of Southbury Road, Enfield, north London, Joe Turner, 18, of The Lindons, Langdon Hills, Basildon, Essex, and Bradley Barnes, 35, of Malmesbury Park Road, Bournemouth, Dorset, have pleaded not guilty to the charge of indecent chanting.
The court heard that the main indecent chants directed towards Campbell were: 'Sol, Sol, wherever you may be, Not long now until lunacy, We won't give a f*** if you are hanging from a tree, You are a Judas **** with HIV'; 'Campbell you are a ****, Campbell, Campbell you are a ****', and 'Sol's a w*****, Sol's a w*****'.
Other chants at the game were the repetition of the words 'Gay boy' and 'You can stick Sol Campbell up your arse'.
The court heard that not all of the defendants sang all of the chants, but variations of them.
