Sheffield Wednesday's Dejphon Chansiri goaded in fan altercation at Hillsborough
and live on Freeview channel 276
The Owls picked up a huge victory on Saturday after goals from Anthony Musaba, Iké Ugbo and Josh Windass secured a vital three points in their quest for survival, leaving Danny Röhl’s side in search of just one point in order to confirm their Championship safety.
But amongst the happiness on an important day for the club, there was an unsavoury incident underneath the south stand that resulted in Chansiri appearing to push away a teenager that was chanting for him to ‘get out of our club’.

Hide AdDean Percival said in a caption alongside the video, “My son getting hit by the Sheffield Wednesday chairman. Just about shows his arrogance and not understanding of the English game."
The post, which has now been deleted, showed Chansiri stopping for what he probably presumed was a photo with the youngster, before clearly taking umbrage to what he understandably felt was a disrespectful taunt. A staff member alongside the Owls chairman could be heard saying ‘Stop being an idiot’ before the video cut off.
There have been protests held at Hillsborough at various points this season in which fans have made their feelings known on Chansiri’s ownership at S6, however many have defended him on social media on the back of this altercation - suggesting that it was not the right way for the young man to get his point across.
