The football fan who mocked Bradley Lowery by holding up an image of him while laughing in a bid to goad Sunderland fans has been branded a 'loser' by an ex-colleague who said he was fired over his 'conduct'.
Dale Houghton, 31, faces jail after he yesterday pleaded guilty to a public order offence by showing rival fans an enlarged picture on his phone of Bradley, who died from a rare cancer, neuroblastoma, in 2017.
The football yob, who was sacked from his job as a window fitter over the weekend as a result of his behaviour, previously worked as Fire Safety Officer for company Fire Structure in Sheffield, before he was fired over his poor 'conduct and demeanour'.
