The Trindad and Tobago, and former Rovers, player was warming up in front of the Blackburn End when the alleged racist taunting took place. However, fans insist that the chanting was not racist in the slightest and the only chants about Yorke involved the lack of effort he put in during his time at the club. The monkey chants are also strongly denied - not surprising after the events in Madrid only four days ago.
Police have confirmed that ONE man had been ejected for racism, but the club have stressed that this is one incident and should not be used against the many other thousands that attended the game.
