ShareretweetEmailPrintA man who posted racist comments about Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba has been jailed for 56 days.
Liam Stacey, a 21-year-old student from Pontypridd, admitted making the comments after the former England U21 international suffered a cardiac arrest during the abandoned FA Cup match at Tottenham on March 17.
It was initially feared Muamba, 23, had died but his heart was restarted following 78 minutes of resuscitation attempts. The ex-Arsenal and Birmingham player has since improved, but he remains in intensive care in hospital.
Stacey admitted a racially-aggravated public order offence to magistrates in Swansea, where he is a biology student.
Police across Britain received complaints following the comments.
Stacey initially claimed his account had been hacked, attempting to delete it, before admitting to police that he was responsible for the Tweets after drinking heavily on the day of the incident.
He reportedly told magistrates he had no idea why he had made the comments and had friends from different ethnic backgrounds.
