Jeff Stelling forced to apologise on air after listener mocks fan killed by police horse


TalkSPORT host Jeff Stelling was forced to apologise live on air after reading out a sick tweet from a Cardiff City fan. Stelling was on his regular morning slot with co-host Ally McCoist when the message came in via X, having tagged the two presenters as well as the talkSPORT account.

“Morning Jeff and Ally,” it read. “Please can you shout out all the Cardiff City fans after a very easy win over Swansea town on the weekend.

“South Wales is blue. Cheers Terry Coles.”

Stelling read the message in its entirety, and went on to praise Cardiff for their “fantastic” result. However, he initially seemed unaware of the sick nature of the post, with Terry Coles a Swansea fan who was killed in 2000.
