Bradley mum: I was sickened by yob's taunt

THE mum of Bradley Lowery said the disgusting behaviour of a football thug who mocked her son's death was like a "dagger to the heart".

And ex-England striker Jermain Defoe was "appalled" after the yob mocked the tragic cancer victim who died, aged six, to goad fans.

Dale Houghton, 31, was told by a judge he could be jailed for his "utterly deplorable" behaviour after he admitted a public order offence.

He had held up a picture of little Bradley and laughed during Sheffield Wednesday's clash with Sunderland on Friday night. The youngster had been a mascot for the Wearside club before he died in 2017.
