Oxford City have sacked their striker Lee Steele for posting a homophobic remark on Twitter about the former Wales rugby playerGareth Thomas.

Mike Ford, manager of the Southern Football League Premier Division club, said the decision was taken in response to Steele tweeting about Thomas’s appearance in Celebrity Big Brother. Steele wrote: “I wouldn’t fancy the bed next to Gareth Thomas #padlockmyarse”.

Good to see decisive action by the club.
