Fans greet former player with gruesome banner
Fans of Belgian football side Standard Liege have been widely condemned after unfurling a banner depicting the decapitation of a former player during a match against league bitter rivals Anderlecht on Sunday.
The giant image of former Standard captain Steven Defour, who joined Anderlecht from Portuguese club Porto last year, was unveiled in a stand behind the goal before kick off in a Belgian Pro-League match.
The banner appeared to depict Jason Voorhees from the horror movie series "Friday The 13th" holding a sword in one hand and Defour's severed head in the other, with the caption reading, "Red or Dead."
The incident was widely condemned with Belgian football officials quick to register their disgust on social media.
