Eric Dier: Tottenham defender says he feels 'too uncomfortable' for family to attend away games

Eric Dier says he feels "too uncomfortable" for his family to attend away matches and believes fan behaviour in football is a "serious problem".

He also revealed abuse was aimed at his brother in Spurs' 2-2 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last month.

"[Fan behaviour] has definitely got worse," Dier said.

"For me it is a serious problem. I had some family and friends at the Chelsea away game with Tottenham and they had problems and stuff.

"I wanted to emphasise it was both sets of fans - I am not saying it is Chelsea fans or Tottenham fans, it is football fans in general.
