Monkey sounds
On April 12, 2019, after 77 minutes of play, Amiens SC captain Prince Gouano decided to leave the pitch. During the match, the player claims to have heard monkey sounds coming from the stands. “I turned around and indeed there was a gentleman looking in my direction and continuing“, he confided. The same evening, a man was arrested and then taken into custody for provoking racial hatred. Since the start of the case, the 22-year-old supporter has denied the facts.
