Hemel Hempstead Town says it's attempting to get a supporter banned from every football club in the country - after what they're calling a "racial abuse incident."

A racial abuse incident took place at the club's match with Maidstone on Saturday.

Hemel Hempstead Town football club released a statement saying: "This type of behaviour will NOT be tolerated at our club. "

"The person in question has been identified and barred from our club for life and further more we will attempt to get this person barred from every football club in the country.

"Unfortunately, the behaviour of some off the Maidstone fans was unacceptable and spoiled a really nice afternoon except for the result.

"We will stand strong against racial abuse every time and Hemel-Hempstead Town football club apologises to the player concerned and be assured we will endeavour to wipe this type of behaviour from the face of the earth."
