A video has emerged allegedly showing a Coventry supporter taunting Sunderland fans with a photograph of Bradley Lowery, who died aged six, prompting an emotional response from his mother, Gemma Lowery. Two outlets report that the clip shows a spectator smirking and pointing to a mobile phone image of Bradley during Coventry’s home match.
Metro and The Mirror describe Gemma’s message as a plea for Bradley to be remembered “with love, not hate,” and they situate the incident in Coventry’s Premier League fixture against Sunderland. Metro adds match context, saying Coventry win 3-1 with goals from Tatsuhiro Sakamoto, Taiwo Awoniyi and Jack Rudoni, and notes Bradley was a lifelong Sunderland supporter whose neuroblastoma battle drew widespread public sympathy before his death in July 2017.
Metro also provides additional background not highlighted in the other summaries: it mentions the Bradley Lowery Foundation, set up after his death to support families raising funds for treatment and equipment, and points to a prior similar incident involving a Sheffield Wednesday fan in 2023. Manchester Evening News focuses on Bradley’s mother’s “emotional plea” after the taunt.
