Good post, this shows the emotional pain of being on the receiving end of this.

Sad to see!!!

Thanks for sharing this one.

Adeyemi was reduced to tears by what he heard and Oldham captain Dean Furman branded the insults “a disgrace”.
He said: “He was abused and I’ll leave it to Tom and the police to investigate that. What happened should not happen and is an absolute disgrace. I hope the authorities take heavy action.”
Rueben Hazell, the former Oldham captain who was among the club’s fans at Anfield, gave his version of events via Twitter. Hazell, who now plays for Shrewsbury, wrote: “I thought straight away this might be racial for Tom to react to a fan in this way.
"A lot of the Latics fans started singing to the Liverpool fans 'You’re all just a bunch of racists’ so obviously they where thinking the same as me. After the game I went into the dressing room and spoke to Tom directly.
"He said he was racially abused by the fan. The police wanted to speak to him and everyone around him told him to do so.
“It’s time for this kind of behaviour to stop. This isn’t acceptable in football or in society and it’s time for black players to show a stand like young Tom did.
''For a 20 year-old I thought he managed the situation extremely well and it was sad that the incident reduced him to tears on what should have been his happiest day.”
Piara Powar, executive director of European football’s anti-discrimination body, Fare, warned the reputation of Liverpool and English football in general had suffered from recent events.
Writing on Twitter, he said: “The LFC brand is being tarnished, but so is British football. Are LFC fans going to do this at every game, support the mistakes made by their own man [Suárez] by abusing others? Where are football’s leaders on this issue today?”
The Football Association will study the referee’s report tomorrow but is likely to delay any action until after the police investigation.
Meanwhile, in a separate development, a man has been arrested over racial abuse sent on Twitter to former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore.
Adeyemi gave up Cambridge place
The 20 year-old reduced to tears by a fan on the Kop turned down a place at Cambridge University to pursue his football career.
Tom Adeyemi, who is from Norwich, got two A*s (chemistry and biology) and an A (maths) in his A-levels. He decided to focus on football with his parent club Norwich and has had loan spells at Bradford and now Oldham.
Former Norwich manager Glenn Roeder said of Adeyemi: “He is one of the nicest young men that I’ve ever dealt with.”

Shocker, had forgotten about that!!
