A Sheffield United fan has been caught on video spitting at Sheffield Wednesday fans in the lower tier of the Bramall Lane Stand.
Ben Harris captured the moment in his vlog of Sunday’s Steel City derby, the incident happening as the second half was coming to an end, the Blades winning 1-0.
Despite being in between stewards, the Sheffield United supporter can be seen leaning over the top tier and spitting hard at the fans below.

Before the game, both sets of fans clashed, with police trying to keep them separate as the Owls supporters were making their way to Bramall Lane.
Sheffield Wednesday players and staff members laughed at boos and chants coming from Sheffield United fans before the game.
On Sunday morning, the players from Wednesday arrived at the ground to a hostile reception from their rivals, with captain Barry Bannan, Josh Windass and ex-Blade Max Lowe on the end of the worst of it.
Additionally, Wednesday boss Danny Röhl, was also subjected to some chants. Despite the unfriendly welcome, the players maintained a positive demeanor, smiling as they proceeded through the entrance.
Sheffield Wednesday have been urged to ban a fan for his George Baldock taunt towards Sheffield United fans during Sunday’s derby.
A second-half goal from Tyrese Campbell won it for the Blades, but unfortunately the game was also marred after a fan captured a message written on a Sheffield Wednesday fan’s phone.
The culprit had “Where’s Baldock” on his screen and would show it to the home fans in the tier above as a way of taunting his rival supporters.

Sheffield Wednesday urged to ban fan for George Baldock taunt towards Sheffield United fans
Twitter users have now urged Sheffield United to ban their fan after being caught on video spitting at Sheffield Wednesday fans…
@davo33uk: Waiting for @SheffieldUnited statement as quick as Sheffield Wednesday’s …. Over to you
@tcswfc: if that’s a wednesday fan they’d be all over it
@Firthy_6: Absolutely vile this. Why do grown men act like this at football? Wouldn’t happen in any other walk of life. Want book throwing at him
@sufclogan: He too needs banning
@Sufc_alex07: Only gone for the trouble an all, we struggle to sell that top bit on home games
@MarkoPoloG1889: Vile and no place for that
@jgramuk: You can’t have opposing supporters above each other. This is disgusting but inevitable
@Grayson169: @SheffieldUnited @swfc @syptweet are you gonna investigate this too along with the other vile “fan” with the Baldock message?
@Spena52085230: Yeah that needs looking into. Out of order that. Needs banning as a minimum. Although it’s not a comparison to mock a footballer that has recently died as some responses to this tweet seems to be the case
@danny_booth90: Are @SheffieldUnited going to make a statement about this then?
@lennyb1983: Someone explain why a game of such fierce rivalry, opposition fans are allowed that close to each other? How hard is it for Utd fans to throw shit onto Weds fans from there? I get the need for tickets is stupidly high for a game of this magnitude, but surely safety comes first?
@Louiswoodyy: Not the first time they’ve pulled stunts like this is it? Bottles of piss in 2009, fireworks aimed at wednesday fans in 2003. They’ll get whats coming to them. Cants #swfc
@aylesburyowl: Better than the bottles of piss that they threw down on us there in previous years. Their hatred for Wednesday is unrivalled in football
@smegmatron22: Why do clubs do this put fans of the opposition above/below the home fans
@F_SWFC: Silly mate isn’t it, they were at it all game apparently, throwing all sorts of shit anorl but no one says owt about that
@FionaAntcliff: @sufc I hope this will be investigated as quickly @swfc are investigating the other vile photo circulating ? This behaviour needs stamping out of football there were kids below him 😡
@thatryanx: That’s fucking disgusting 🤮 sort him out @SheffieldUnited no room in my club for that behaviour
@baggies_rich69: The Wednesday fan was utter stupid for what he done. But United fan is equally as bad for spitting on someone. And why were United fans allowed to sit above them? Two empty rows should of been left empty
@ConorHill9: Grown man this by the way 🤯 Dirty little fucking rat!! Lowest of the low is spitting at folk!!
@Owlsonline: There’s absolutely no need for S**t like this.
@Hank83416250473: This is worse than any words, lowest yer can go spitting on folk, this is over football btw
@JakePark02: Surely the powers at Sheffield United realise it’s a stupid idea to have home fans above away when it’s derby?
