Fans Rally After Bradley Lowery Image Used in Sick Taunt
Football supporters have come together to raise thousands for the Bradley Lowery Foundation following an appalling incident at Sheffield Wednesday’s game against Sunderland. Two men, aged 31 and 27, were arrested on suspicion of outraging public decency after reportedly using the late Bradley Lowery’s image as a cruel taunt during the match.

Bradley Lowery, who died aged six after a brave fight against cancer, was a beloved mascot for Sunderland. His legacy lives on through the foundation set up in his name, which helps children battling cancer and other serious illnesses.
Sheffield Wednesday Fans Flood Foundation with Donations
In a powerful response, Sheffield Wednesday supporters sprang into action, raising over £6,000 via a GoFundMe launched by the club’s Women’s Supporters’ Group. The money will go towards the charity’s holiday home in Scarborough, a vital resource for families facing tough times.
“We are honestly so overwhelmed. We are so thankful to SWFC and all of the fans for showing your support. We know the views of a couple are not the views of the majority, and will forever be grateful for this gesture, which will be put towards our holiday home in Scarborough,” the Bradley Lowery Foundation said on Twitter.
