West Ham vs Chelsea: Homophobic John Terry song sheet handed out by Hammers fan before violent EFL Cup clash
Flyer contained disgustingly offensive lyrics about Blues skipper on night of crowd troubles at London Stadium
A SONG sheet containing homophobic lyrics about John Terry was handed out by a West Ham fan before last night’s EFL Cup clash against Chelsea.
Images of the flyer were posted on social media as Slaven Bilic’s men secured a 2-1 win at the London Stadium.
Hammers supporters were urged to ‘get behind the team from kick off’ by singing a song about Chelsea skipper Terry.

Written to the tune of ‘We’ve got Dimitri Payet’, based on Billy Ray Cyrus' Achy Breaky Heart, the song contained crude lyrics and made offensive remarks about the veteran defender as well as teammate Diego Costa.
It came on a night marred by fan violence in the stands, with chairs, bottles and coins being thrown by rival supporters.
Riot police were eventually called in to contain the clashes and West Ham have already vowed to hand life bans.
The offensive song also emerged just a day after a survey revealed almost ten per cent of fans would refuse to watch their team if there was an openly gay player in the side.
There has never been a player in the Premier League or Football League who has come out as gay while still playing.
A separate survey confirmed half of football fans have heard homophobic abuse while watching a game.
