Daughter of Middlesbrough chairman Gibson slams violent West Ham fans

More problems engulfed London stadium during West Ham's 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough yesterday.

The Mail on Sunday says Victoria Gibson, the daughter of Middlesbrough chairman Steve, spoke about 'disgusting behaviour' from West Ham fans and said an elderly man was 'bottled' during the match.

She wrote on Twitter: "Silly WH fan injuring one of ours. Disgusting behaviour. Our man, an elderly gentleman, was taken out of the ground as a result. Shocking.

"It's also unacceptable that some of my family and friends have been shut in the stadium while WH fans carry on outside. Terrifying."

Gibson was referring to reports that the trouble continued outside. When challenged about what happened inside, she replied: "Sure. Cause an old man asked to be bottled. Have a day off."
