The mother of England defender, Harry Maguire, has hit out at critics of his son.
She issued a statement after Maguire was mocked during England’s 3-1 win over Scotland.
The half-time substitute was mocked by the vociferous home crowd after he scored an own goal.
Speaking on Thursday, Maguire’s mom said: “As a mum, seeing the level of negative and abusive comments in which is receiving from some fans, pundits and the media is disgraceful and totally unacceptable to any walk of life never mind someone who works his socks off for club and country.
“I was there in the stands as usual, it’s not acceptable what’s been created over nothing.
“I understand that in world of football there are ups and downs, positive and negatives but what Harry receives has gone far beyond football.
“For me seeing him go through what’s he’s going through is not ok. I’d hate to have to see other parents or players go through this in future, especially young boys and girls breaking through the ranks today.
“Harry has a massive heart and it’s a good job he’s mentally strong and can handle it as others may not be able too.
“I wish this sort of abuse on nobody.”
