Cox family hits out at City
The Guardian and the Independent report that the family of Sean Cox have been left hurt and disgusted by Man City players and staff who sang an offensive chant during their Premier League title celebrations. The song featured lyrics such as “battered in the streets” and “victims of it all”.
City have denied that the song was relating to Liverpool fan Cox, who was left with life-changing injuries after being attacked by Roma fans outside Anfield before last season’s Champions League semi-final.
