West Ham fan on club’s supporters’ board marched with DFLA in London

A member of West Ham's 'Official Supporters' Board' has admitted to attending a march with the Democratic Football Lads Alliance - a group accused of Islamophobia and criticised by anti-racism campaigners.

Greg Smith, who attended the group's first meeting with vice-chairman Karren Brady last week, joined the controversial group on a march through the capital back in October.

He has also expressed his support for the DFLA, who were protesting against 'returning jihadists', 'thousands of Awol migrants', 'rape gangs and groomers' and 'veterans treated like traitors' according to their Facebook page.
