Overview

• After Tamworth’s FA Cup match against Tottenham Hotspur on January 12, Dunbar targeted substitute Christopher Wreh with racial slurs via a now-deleted Instagram account.
• Wreh’s public sharing of the message screenshot drew over 1.7 million views and helped social media users and police identify Dunbar.
• At Portsmouth Magistrates’ Court on June 18, Dunbar admitted he sent the abuse after losing a bet and received a three-year ban from all football grounds.
• The court also imposed 10 rehabilitation activity days alongside the community order to address racially aggravated malicious communications.
• Hampshire police and the Football Association praised the sentence for reinforcing that racist abuse will not be tolerated in football.
