Dion Charles apologises to Huddersfield Town after being spotted in with Bolton Wanderers fans at Blackpool on Saturday afternoon.
He could be seen in photos and videos appeared on social media, with the ex-Blackpool academy player since saying sorry to interim Huddersfield head coach Jon Worthington, who has called the decision to watch Bolton as ‘naive’.
He told BBC Sport West Yorkshire: ‘Dion came to see me first thing on Sunday morning to apologise. I think ultimately he has probably been a bit naive with the context of it being Bolton and another team in our league.
‘He is injured and he isn’t available for us and he was there with his three-year-old son. He was apologetic and ultimately we draw a line under it and move on as quickly as possible.’

On Saturday, March 29th, Bolton Wanderers, Dion Charles’ former club, lost 2-1 to Blackpool at Bloomfield Road.
On the same day, Huddersfield Town, where Dion Charles currently plays, suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat to Charlton Athletic.
These results have sparked some discussion, especially since Dion Charles, who is injured and didn’t play for Huddersfield, was spotted in the Bolton away end at Blackpool, cheering with their fans.
This caused a bit of a stir.
This is what social media users are saying as Dion Charles apologises to Huddersfield after being spotted in with Bolton fans at Blackpool…
@kaigoughy2: Man goes to watch friends play football with his son
@Jonty72FY1: Laughable like his football.
@Ben45019: Terminate his contract immediately
@rossterrier: Get him gone, nowhere near league 1 standard anyway
@JRFearnley: @KevinNagleMLS I hope you’re gonna fine his wages? Not exactly setting a good example when he’s gone to watch a rival team that competing for play offs! Where’s the discipline? 😡 #htafc
@David43923838: Dad & lad going to a football match, what next 🙄
@StephenPaul91: I can’t imagine how mentally fragile you have to be to get wound up about footballer going to watch another team.
@WoodheadJae: I really don’t see the issue being made. We’ve had ex players come back to watch our games before and probley will in future. He’s not available not even an issue in my eyes. People need to stop being so sensitive!
@Owain_B1: To answers the lady’s question honestly, he was having a nice time being a Bolton fan.
@thetangerinetru: Ahahahaha hope he enjoyed his day out 😂😂🍊
@alexsmart1994: He’s done nowt wrong he’s injured and wasn’t playing so he watched best team in the League with his kid he’s human he can do what he wants 😂
@PrestonTerrier: Could be wrong but I don’t think this is Dion. I’m sure he has a younger brother who looks like him. #htafc
@PolskiHipis: I honestly don’t see what the issue is here. If we were playing at home then yes a very bad move, but we were playing in London and he wasn’t required to travel with the match squad. Why can’t he go and watch the club he grew up supporting?
@AndyC_88: Good grief how outraged is the journo? Lol
@bwfc_elliot: Dion coming into a Bolton away end 2 months after an entire Bolton away end in unison chanted that he cheats on his wife
@JackMath_: This is embarrassing not just for us but for himself after the shit they were giving him at our place. Chants of “Dion Charles, he cheats on his wife” and now he’s taking pictures with them. Muppet
@radcliffe78: Dion piss boiling all the #htafc fans because he came to watch his former side #bwfc
@Gary06634239: Pathetic. Leave the kid alone
@BiggusD11559466: Piss off, he can do WTF he wants. Concentrate on ur inhouse troubles instead of a guy who went to a game that happened to be his ex team mates… Childish ba#tards.
@RitaPal75361102: Why shouldn’t he have been that’s a day off for injured
@Latics_WN6: That’s stupid from him. Especially when the team is in direct competition with his for a playoff spot and is playing that day. Wild.
@Lambypie_: That’s a piss take ain’t it!? They’ve all been laughing at him n’all.
@dechtafc05: Get him fucked off. He’s shite waste of money
@patmoore97: 11 games, 0 goals and showing up to support the team you were sold from — who just so happen to be your current team’s promotion rivals — on the same day your team suffers a humiliating 4-0 defeat is pathetic. We’ve had some stinkers down the years but that could top the lot.
@craigywhitehead: I don’t think iv hated an #htafc squad as much in my life. I’d keep Miller and Taylor and get rid of the rest. Cartwright and Edwards booted out at the front before them. We’re effing embarrassing at the moment #htafc iv defended you @KevinNagleMLS but you need to sort the mess
