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.
A Coventry supporter mocked Sunderland with a picture of Bradley Lowery. Now the deceased's mother is highlighting it. "Mocking a child who died of cancer is no joke, is it?" she says in a statement.
