“From what he’s said they said to him, it’s horrendous and needs dealing with quickly.
“I’ve never seen him like that to be honest with you. I trust the lad 100 per cent and it’s wrong and there’s no need for it in life.”
Lincolnshire Police confirmed a 23 year old man was arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated harassment after the game.
He has been released under investigation, a statement said.
