Stoke City's 5-2 win at Huddersfield Town on Wednesday was briefly halted due to sectarian abuse aimed at Ireland winger James McClean, with an announcement being made that the match would be abandoned if the abuse did not stop.
Stoke's McClean has been a target of abuse in the past for refusing to wear a poppy on his shirt on Remembrance Day after he cited the 1972 "Bloody Sunday" massacre, where British soldiers killed unarmed protesters in his hometown of Derry, as the reason for not wearing one.
Poppies are worn as a symbol of remembrance, honouring those who lost their lives in various conflicts.
