Fans ignore Sol plea

TOTTENHAM fans responded to a plea from Sol Campbell to stop their abuse of him by launching into insulting chants about their former defender before last night’s FA Cup victory.

Campbell used a newspaper interview to implore Spurs supporters to ease back on the deeply derogatory songs they have sung ever since his controversial transfer to Arsenal in 2001.

Speaking to the Guardian, the 48-year-old also revealed that he is still abused in person and has not brought any of his three children to a match because they might witness the insults.

But Spurs fans belted out the chants last night, including one that said they would party at news of Campbell’s death. Asked about it afterwards, Spurs coach Cristian Stellini said: ‘I didn’t hear this. I discover only now what you said. but I hope it never happens again.’
