Stoke City Condemns Chants Aimed at Tyrese Campbell

Stoke City has condemned 'sickening and unacceptable' chanting directed at Sheffield United player Tyrese Campbell during a recent match, where he scored the second goal in a 2-0 victory against his former club. The chants targeted Campbell in reference to the recent death of his father, Kevin Campbell, a former footballer who passed away at age 54 in June. In response, Stoke City issued a statement emphasizing their zero-tolerance policy towards such behavior and pledged to inform the police about any evidence of misconduct. The club urged supporters to report any incidents of criminal or discriminatory behavior to ensure a safe matchday environment. Tyrese Campbell had previously expressed gratitude for the support he received following his father's death, highlighting the emotional toll of the loss. Stoke’s firm stance reflects an ongoing commitment to addressing unacceptable conduct within football stadiums.
