I want to apologise unreservedly to Raheem and hope he can be a better man than I am by accepting it.I offer him an unreserved apology. Even if it wasnt racist, its not right what I said. “Even the swearing is bad but I got carried away.I was completely out of order, but Ive lost my job and my season ticket now so everybodys got what they wanted. So why cant they leave me alone?Mr Wing, who didn’t reveal what he did for work, said he’d been spoken to by police twice on Saturday, but has not been charged with any crime.
