Canvey soccer boss Jeff King was an all-round angry man after seeing his side slump to their sixth defeat in seven games.

Gulls crashed 4-1 at former Football League outfit Halifax who, pushing hard for a Nationwide Conference play-off place, are sporting a proud record of being the only club playing in the top five levels of the game in England to have scored in every game this season.

King was outraged by a small section of the home following who started making monkey chants at black players in the Canvey line-up in the closing stages.

On the allegations of racism, the chants so incensed the small band of travelling fans behind visiting keeper Danny Potter's goal that a few started to move menacingly towards the stand housing home supporters where the noises came from.
