West Ham ban supporter over Livermore incident
The fan involved in a verbal altercation with West Brom's Jake Livermore has been indefinitely suspended by West Ham.
The West Ham supporter whose comments provoked an angry response from West Brom's Jake Livermore has been indefinitely banned from home and away matches.
After being substituted in the second half of West Ham's 2-1 win at London Stadium this month, Livermore appeared to react to a fan close to the visitors' dugout and was led away.
According to West Brom, Livermore was provoked by a comment made about the death of his infant son in 2014.
And following the conclusion of an investigation, the Hammers have taken now action aimed at preventing the individual in question from attending the team's matches.
