A football fan has pleaded guilty to mocking the Hillsborough disaster and the death of West Brom supporter last month in an 'abhorrent' social media post.
Sheffield Wednesday fan Richard Crisp, 55, mocked Mark Townsend's death and referenced the 97 victims of the 1989 disaster at the stadium.
Baggies season ticket holder Mark, 57, suffered a medical emergency in the away end during the team's Championship match on September 28 and died in hospital.
He was in the Leppings Lane End of the stadium, where 97 Liverpool supporters were killed in a crush during the 1989 FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest.
In a now-deleted post on X, Crisp wrote: "Another one to add to the Leppings Lane tally.
"What are we at now, 98? When we get to 100, we'll have a party. Up the Owls."
