West Ham United co-owner David Gold says they're determined to uncover the yobs behind the obscene chants at Tottenham on Sunday.

Gold wrote in the Daily Mail: "Like many of the people around me in the directors' box at White Hart Lane I didn't hear or see any of the reported inappropriate behaviour during Sunday's game with Tottenham. If I had then I'm sure I would have been mortified.

"We have a clear stance towards any kind of discriminatory behaviour at West Ham - it will simply not be tolerated.

"David Sullivan and I are leading an investigation from the top of the club to establish exactly what happened.

"If we can identify any individuals who have acted inappropriately they will be sought out and banned by the club as part of our zero-tolerance policy.

"We genuinely believe we have some of the best supporters in the country and we will not let a minority of fans - no matter how small - affect the reputation of our great club.

"We are a club that promotes tolerance and inclusion of people from all backgrounds, race and religion.

"Just a quick look around our boardroom table would tell you that."
