Former Tottenham striker Gary Lineker has slammed abusive Arsenal fans. Lineker came to the defence of Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger on Monday after he was jeered by Gunners fans following their 3-2 defeat at Stoke City in the Premier League on Saturday.
Videos posted on YouTube appear to show Wenger, 65, being jeered and sworn at by fans as he boarded his train following his side's defeat at the Britannia Stadium that has left them sixth in the table 13 points behind leaders Chelsea.
One fan can also be heard yelling at striker Joel Campbell, walking just ahead of Wenger, "Get out while you can Joel."
Lineker tweeted:
Just saw the Wenger abuse video. Disgustingly disrespectful and totally inexcusable, regardless of any bloody football results.
