BARNSLEY Football Club has launched an internal investigation following allegations three players were involved in a racist attack on an Asian taxi driver.

The Chronicle understands the three players involved were club captain Paul Reid, midfielder Brian Howard and striker Marc Richards.

The trio were arrested after a night out in Sheffield on Wednesday, March 7 - four days after their 3-1 drubbing at home to Norwich and three days before the 2-0 defeat to Sunderland at Oakwell.

A club spokesman said: "There is going to be an internal investigation but at the moment there is no comment."

Sheffield police confirmed arrests had been made.

"Police have arrested a 25-year-old man and two 24-year-old men in connection with an incident in a taxi travelling along Penistone Road in Sheffield on Wednesday March 7.

"The 25-year-old man and one of the 24-year-old men were arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated assault and making off without payment. The remaining 24-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated public order and making off without payment," a spokesman said.

All three have been released on bail pending further enquiries.

 

Cheers.

Will they all be shown the door at Oakwell, you reckon?

 

RE: Cheers.

Not going to speculate until the outcome one way or the other however if they are convicted they should definately be shown the door.

Lets hope its not true and the result of the investigation will decide that

 

Amen to that... nt
