Police have released CCTV stills of three football fans suspected of hurling racist abuse during a match between Haringey Borough and Yeovil Town.
The FA Cup qualifier was abandoned after players from both sides walked off in the 64th minute at Haringey’s ground, Coles Park in north London, on October 19.
Haringey manager Tom Loizou alleged that defender Coby Rowe had suffered racist abuse and goalkeeper Douglas Pajetat was also said to have been spat at and had missiles thrown at him.
