A man has been charged after messages were shared online apparently mocking the death of a man at a Sheffield Wednesday game.

West Brom supporter Mark Townsend died from a medical episode on Saturday, at the Leppings Lane end of Hillsborough Stadium, where Liverpool fans died as a result of a crush in 1989.

A social media account, which has since been deleted, was alleged to have made reference to the 97 victims of the disaster.

Richard Crisp, 55, from Hillsborough, was charged with sending a communication or article of an indecent or offensive nature, South Yorkshire Police said.
