Sources: 8. Developments: 2. A 14-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence following a football match between Coventry City and AFC Sunderland. Social media footage allegedly showed the teenager using a mobile phone to display a photograph of the late Bradley Lowery, a Sunderland supporter who died in 2017 after a battle with neuroblastoma, to taunt opposing fans. The teenager subsequently handed himself in to West Midlands Police and was released on bail. Coventry City issued a statement condemning the behavior and announced an internal investigation. Gemma Lowery, the mother of Bradley Lowery, described the incident as heartbreaking. While she stated that mocking a child who died from cancer is unacceptable, she requested that the public refrain from directing hatred or online abuse toward the teenager, suggesting instead that his family help him understand the distress caused by his actions. ## Timeline ### 2026-11-03: West Midlands Police arrest teenager over Bradley Lowery photo A 14-year-old boy was arrested for allegedly taunting Sunderland fans with a photo of Bradley Lowery, a child who died of cancer in 2017, during a Premier League match. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/west-midlands-police-arrest-teenager-over-bradley-lowery-photo ### 2026-11-01: Coventry City fan arrested after alleged taunt using photo of late Bradley Lowery A 14-year-old boy was arrested after video appeared to show him taunting Sunderland fans with a photo of the late Bradley Lowery, a young fan who died of cancer in 2017. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/coventry-city-fan-investigated-for-taunting-with-photo-of-deceased-boy --- Cite as: Coventry City and Sunderland football misconduct incident.
