DJ Terry Christian has been banned from watching his son play under-11s football after he criticised a teenage referee on Twitter.

The former TV presenter told Manchester Evening News he believes he is the victim of a "witch hunt" after calling the referee "clumsy" and "horrendously biased":

A spokesman for the team Mr Christian's son plays for, Queensgate Junior Wasps, told the newspaper it had written to the referee to apologise for the "offensive and distressing comments" and had asked for "the offending comments to be removed".
