In the wake of the incident, Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp called for fans who racially abuse players to be imprisoned, saying: ""That is disgusting – there's no place for that in the game. Surely we can't have that sort of behaviour now? Anyone who does it should be put in prison – not banned from football. Stick them where they belong, in the nut-house. It's wrong."" On 5 October, a 47-year-old man was charged with a racially aggravated public order offence and bailed to appear in court in Stoke-on-Trent on 13 October, when the case was adjourned until 10 November. On 25 November the fan, Robert Mason, said to suffer "from a schizo-affective disorder", admitted making a racist comment. He was given a three-year order banning him from all football grounds in the United Kingdom and fined £170.
