A Ghanaian footballer claimed he froze during a Premier League match after allegedly experiencing racial abuse from a Liverpool supporter, according to court proceedings. The incident reportedly occurred during the opening match of the 2025 season on August 15. The accused, Mark Mogan, faces charges related to the alleged incident.
The court heard that Mogan, 47, is accused of shouting a racial slur at the player during the match. The player, who was then with Bournemouth, reportedly reacted strongly to the abuse. Mogan denies the allegations of racially aggravated behaviour.
This incident follows a similar case where the accused was rushed to hospital during a trial. The case highlights ongoing concerns about racial abuse in football. The court is expected to determine the outcome of the charges against Mogan.
