Fans disgusted with chant allegedly sung about Kevin Campbell towards his son Tyrese

Fans are disgusted with a chant allegedly sung about Kevin Campbell towards his son Tyrese before Stoke’s defeat at Sheffield United.

A number of tweets have surfaced following the Championship fixture on Saturday, calling out the culprits and urged the clubs to find and ban those heard singing it.

@AndyB73 said: “Close to being done with the club and the morally deluded fans.. shit appointments, shit players and to those fans who sang Where’s your father gone? To Tyrese Campbell, I hope the club find you and ban you for life for being moronic @stokecity.”

As mentioned, fans have been left disgusted with a chant allegedly sung about Kevin Campbell towards his son Tyrese…

@jules_ted: I can’t believe that we actually have supporters who sang those words. Kevin Campbell was the most beautiful man inside and out. Those people are scum and no better than the Millwall scum that sang about our Danny. They need naming and shaming 😡😡😡

@slopingpitch: It’s an absolutely disgusting act. Quite apart from Ty, imagine what people in the club, who supported him and shared his grief, must feel about it. I wouldn’t want to represent those particular fans.

@ZarBeck26: That is absolutely despicable 😡

@ClaretBluBlood: Kevin Campbell’s son getting such songs sung at him by a set of scumbags from a club he just moved from, Stoke City. He will have loved his goal.

@damiangrange: Our company sponsored the match yesterday and I had a couple of Stoke fans with me in the directors box along with client from Sheffield never been so embarrassed to be from Stoke..

@pricen538: Disgusting chant that was not right, Kevin Campbell was a top bloke.

@LindaLovesStoke: Absolutely unbelievably cruel 💔

@Leepinkclarke: Honestly were they singing that? I’m fucking done with the club

@Stoke1965: How fecking low can u get. Scum

@baltipiesmugglr: Amazed what I read about this. Personally wouldn’t even have shouted anything at the bloke, booing him bad enough, but that? Sickening

@scottscfc: I was there no need for that chant, Kevin Campbell was a sound guy to talk to

@pigeonman562: The very small group of “stoke fans” that sung that song to Campbell today don’t represent a single other stoke fan. And it’s genuinely upsetting that people aren’t separating the two

@Hayleyscfc1991: Same. I was annoyed with myself when i booked the wrong week to go on holiday (missed two games) but i actually didnt miss it at all. Reported him but keeping his photo because if nothing is done, I will be sharing his picture. Unfortunately I don’t know his name

@caulkers25: 100%. Absolute disgrace. Need identifying and banning.

@ian_cooper1: I was there mate and genuinely didn’t hear that at all, shocking behaviour from anyone who sang that

@stokiemum23: I’ve been to a couple of away games where Kevin Campbell always interacted with our fans. Actually embarrassed to be a season ticket holder, even if it was only a couple of them.

The game itself saw Sheffield United back to winning ways after successive away defeats thanks to goals from Kieffer Moore and Tyrese Campbell – against his former club.

Sheffield United head coach Chris Wilder told BBC Radio Sheffield: “Its been an emotional last couple of weeks. I still don’t think people understand the effect it’s had on all of us; players, coaches, managers, people that work with George, people in the office, staff, ex-players.

“Big challenge today, we had to make sure we got the performance right, and I thought the performance was absolutely spot-on.

“I thought the way we controlled our emotions was great. The players knew there was a lot on this game off the back of two disappointing results.”

Chris Wilder, per Sky Sports: “We got the balance right off the pitch, got the balance right on the pitch. We needed to get that performance right and I believe we did. We controlled possession, we played really well.

“They played with freedom, they played with belief and personality and courage and that allowed them to dominate a dangerous outfit. Stoke are a team that’s well coached, with some good players.

“We had to make sure that emotionally we were spot on today and controlled our emotions and played in the way we wanted to play today.

“We had to get that right, that was the biggest thing. The biggest message to the players that we had to take it out of it and and we did.

“I thought the players were outstanding. We’re really proud of the players. They had a couple of chances so it would have been interesting but we managed to keep a clean sheet so I’m delighted with the players.

“It’s been the toughest two weeks, personally, from my time being in football since I was 16, really, so that’s the impact of it all. And for the players as well and staff and just even people in our canteen or people that saw someone every day.

“Then you chuck in two really difficult away games. Whenever it would have been, it would have been difficult to go and get a result at Leeds.”

Stoke City head coach Narcis Pelach told BBC Radio Stoke: “It was a tough opponent, tough place to go, we knew that before the game, but we conceded a goal too early in my opinion.

“It’s a deflection after a free-kick and Moore is more clever than us in that moment and he scores the first one and then it looks difficult, but I think that tactically we were there and it could have gone another way.

“We had two big chances in the second half with Ashley Phillips and Lewis Koumas where we have to score”.

Pelach, per Sky Sports: “We knew that was going to be a tough test for us. Sheffield United away, coming back from the Premier League, very good players, good coach. We knew that was going to be hard but we always believed we could do something here.

“The first goal comes too quick, deflection after a free-kick. You cannot really control that but I think the team was organised, solid, with one extra man in defence in order to protect ourselves more.

“But you are not going to have many chances, so you have to take your moments in the game. We didn’t, so Ashley Phillips, Lewis Koumas, these two had big chances. Ashley Phillips had another one from a free-kick.

“You have to be clinical because you are not going to have many chances against Sheffield United away. They were solid. I expected them to be strong in duels, second balls, and I think they were better than us.

“Disappointed for us because there are moments in the game we can link better and we didn’t even have the chance to see the chance because we don’t do the last or the previous pass well.

“We couldn’t even see the speed of Lewis and Tom Cannon in the first half because we didn’t link the transition.”
