Shocking footage reveals Newcastle fan trying to wrestle Dan Burn’s shirt off a CHILD

This is the shocking moment a Newcastle fan is caught trying to wrestle a shirt off of a child sat in the stands on Boxing Day.

Footage shared on social media shows the man pulling the shirt away from the young supporter before another fan intervenes as the Magpies defeated Leicester 3-0 on Monday at the King Power Stadium.

But the astonishing clip shows the moment the self-serving supporter tried to tug Dan Burns’ shirt away from the boy, despite the best efforts of the fans sat around him. 

Football fans everywhere were quick to condemn the ‘unbelievable’ and ‘disgraceful’ actions of the adult who left the boy startled. 

After Newcastle beat Leicester 3-0 on Boxing Day, defender Dan Burn gave his shirt to a child

Most will be pleased to know the child (pictured above) eventually received the coveted prize

The Twitter video, with the caption ‘Newcastle fan trying to steal a shirt from a kid… lovely Christmas spirit’, displays an older lady clutching on tightly to the jersey, with her hand in a vice-like grip around it as the son and his father look to keep hold of it.

One supporter in the middle then tries to lever it out of the woman’s grip, pointing at the boy to indicate he is freeing it from her grasp for the child, as the tussle continued. 

Most will be pleased to know that the boy eventually got the prize after the shocking tug-of-war, with stewards forced to step in to mediate the dispute.

The Magpies beat Leicester 3-0 on Monday at the King Power Stadium, with Chris Wood, Miguel Almiron and Joelinton on the scoresheet. 

Dan Burn had thrown his shirt into the stands as a gesture of appreciation for the visiting fans’ support, with the lucky youngster pulling in his prize. 

A message shared on Twitter, seemingly from the boy’s mother, said: ‘The bloke in the red was getting the shirt for my son but the lady was trying to snatch the shirt from my son’s arms, but the stewards got involved and got the shirt.’

A message, apparently from the boy’s mum, clarified that the stewards had to get involved

And fans quickly took to social media to condemn the ‘shameful’ and ‘disgraceful’ incident

And fans quickly took to Twitter to condemn the ‘shameful’ and ‘disgraceful’ actions of the lady on the left. 

One said: ‘Absolute tramp,’ with another simply adding ‘unbelievable’.

A third continued: ‘Not so much a fan but a bully.’

Another declared: ‘He should be ashamed,’ with a fifth concluding: ‘Disgrace should be ashamed of yourself.’
