Revealed: Football fans who 'appeared to mock little cancer victim Bradley Lowery's memory at match are brothers - as police launch probe'

Two football fans accused of mocking little cancer victim Bradley Lowery's memory at a Sheffield Wednesday game on Friday have been revealed as brothers.

Dale Houghton was accused of holding up a zoomed-in picture of the Black Cats fan in home kit on his phone, while his brother Drew laughed for all the stadium to see.

Bradley Lowery died in 2017 after the young Sunderland fan was diagnosed with a rare cancer neuroblastoma when he was just 18 months old. His story touched many hearts across the world - during his brave battle he was even a special guest of BBC's Sports Personality of the Year in 2016.
