Danny Haynes
Charlton subs Danny Haynes and Emmanuel Frimpong took to Twitter claiming they were the victims of "disgusting" racial abuse at the match against Millwall on Saturday (Dec 1).
Haynes and Frimpong both alleged they had been racially abused by Lions supporters during the goalless game at The Den.
Mr Haynes’s tweet read: "The MILLWALL fans 2day was disgusting.The racial abuse I received was embarrassing. Not impressed at all!"
Lewisham Police say they are investigating the matter and a spokesman for Millwall confirmed the club was also investigating.
Charlton Athletic declined to comment.

Funny how Bolton's Marvin Sordell rasism story was dropped, when the truth is he was called a fish.
Also no news about the Charlton fans breaking seats, ripping out plumbing, smearing sh1t, lobbing smoke bombs at ball boys, and throwing flares on the pitch.

Johnnie Jackson's twitter post (also now removed) wasn't his finest moment, maybe Chris Powell advised him so.

Perhaps The News Shopper should also mention that Frimpong has deleted the 'racism' post and has now tweeted how much he enjoyed the banter! Also before the high horse is mounted, Charlton fans may wish to view their own 'Charlton Life' forum where the vandalism issues above are glorified by some and a post on page 3 of the post match thread compares a Millwall player to a chimp. Offensive/racist you decide.
