A man has been charged with racially abusing Leeds United captain Ethan Ampadu during a match earlier this year.
The alleged offence took place as Ampadu left the pitch following Leeds’ 2-1 win over Sunderland at Elland Road on 17 February.
Steven Patterson, 66, of Stranton Street, Bishop Auckland, County Durham, will appear at Leeds Magistrates’ Court on 17 October to answer a charge of causing racially aggravated harassment, alarm or distress, according to West Yorkshire Police.
