A football fan has admitted in court to racially abusing Birmingham striker Dwight Yorke.

Jason Perryman, 22, was caught on TV cameras hurling monkey chants and gesturing towards the former Rovers player during a live match on Sunday.

Today Perryman, of Chorley, Lancashire, admitted at Blackburn Magistrates Court to an offence of racially aggravated disorderly behaviour.

Perryman intends to apologise to Yorke in a letter, the court heard.

A second fan, David Ashcroft, 21, pleaded not guilty to a second charge following Sunday's game.
