Bradley Lowery's mum makes statement after alleged vile taunt at ...

  • On Saturday, a Coventry City supporter allegedly used a photograph of late Bradley Lowery to taunt Sunderland fans during their Premier League fixture at the Coventry Building Society Arena, with footage circulating on social media.
  • Bradley's mother, Gemma Lowery, issued an emotional statement on Sunday declaring her "beautiful boy deserves to be remembered with love, not hate" and calling on Coventry to take appropriate action.
  • Coventry City FC stated "The club does not tolerate offensive behaviour and will liaise with the relevant authorities." The incident echoes a 2023 case involving Sheffield Wednesday fan Dale Houghton, who received a 12-week suspended prison sentence.
  • Established in 2017, the Bradley Lowery Foundation continues supporting families fundraising for treatment not covered by the NHS, recently opening a £1 million holiday home for children with complex medical needs.
  • Gemma Lowery emphasized her son's legacy persists through life-saving support, asking the photograph "be remembered for what it truly represents"—his joy—rather than the hatred displayed by the incident.
