A black footballer was unfairly dismissed after being racially victimised by his club, an employment tribunal has ruled.
Mark McCammon decided to sue former club Gillingham after being sacked for alleged misconduct, claiming that black players were treated differently at the club.
The ex-Barbados international claimed that he and other black players were forced to come into training amid "treacherous" snowy driving conditions while some white players were exempt.
He also claimed that he was treated differently when it came to medical matters, saying that the club refused to pay private medical bills for him despite flying a white player out to Dubai for treatment by a renowned physio at the club's expense.
The League Two side vehemontly denied the claims, but the employment tribunal decided that McCammon was unfairly sacked on grounds of racial victimisation.
Gillingham released a statement saying that they are "disappointed and staggered" by the decision.
