A footballer will appear in court after fans claimed he made repeated homophobic gestures during a match.

Blackburn player Colin Kazim-Richards, 26, has been summonsed to appear at Brighton Magistrates' Court on August 22 to answer a charge under Section 5 of the Public Order Act.

The summons relates to an alleged gesture that Kazim-Richards made to the crowd when he was playing for Blackburn Rovers in a Championship football match Albion at the Amex on February 12.

The Turkey international was interviewed by officers from Sussex Police about the alleged incident earlier this year.

Not sure that this particular incident makes the club look like a laughing stock..plenty of other ammo recently!

Not just saying this because I'm a Palace fan, but your PR and club image is a disaster at the moment. This whole homophobic thing is a real fiasco...Brighton is the gay capital of the world, therefore you will get stick for it (rightly or wrongly). After the poohgate incident, an actual Brighton fan from work joked that 'it wasn't the first time someone from Brighton got caught with his pants down'. It made everyone laugh and wasn't mean in an offensive manner to anyone. I just think your club is taking yourself and football way too seriously
