Philip Billing reveals racist abuse from Huddersfield ‘fan’

Written by on 13/03/2019

Huddersfield midfielder Philip Billing has received online racial abuse from someone purporting to be one of the club’s own supporters.

Billing tweeted a picture of an abusive private message he had received on Instagram urging him to leave the Premier League club.

The supporter told Billing: “Leave our f****** club I never want to see you in a town kit ever again you useless wanna be black donkey.”

Billing, who has made 26 Premier League appearances for Huddersfield this season, simply tweeted an image of the racist taunt with a thumbs down emoji.

The 22-year-old, who has just been called into Denmark’s senior squad for their upcoming international matches, has produced several outstanding displays for the Terriers this season and his form has led to speculation over a summer move.

Huddersfield are 16 points from safety with eight matches remaining.
