This is shocking, hope they find the vile ****!!
FOOTIE star Billy Sharp has been targeted by a vile Twitter troll who abused him over the death of his new-born son.
The striker has received a stream of sick posts from an account with the user name @ChrisDRFCBoyd taunting him about the tragedy of two-day-old Luey Jacob in November.
The messages also attack the 26-year-old for leaving bottom of the table Doncaster last month in a £3m transfer deadline day move to join promotion-chasing Southampton.
The first said: "Luey Jacob Sharp DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD."
Then a series of terrace chant-style messages followed including: "Your sons a p***k and so are you, your sons a p***k and so are you".
Hitting back ... Billy Sharp replies to a taunt on Twitter
Three minutes later he was again mocked with: "Billy where's your son. Billy, Billy where's your son."
The final shocking tweet read: "Should of stayed with us until the end of the season you p***k.
"F**king glad your son died and hope your legs get broken."
Grieving Sharp hit back: "shallow little boy hope ur proud of urself (sic)."
Last night Doncaster Rovers were investigating the attack.
A spokesman for the club said: "Doncaster Rovers Football Club are aware of the Twitter feed from a fan called Chris Boyd.
"We are investigating the matter at the moment and will take appropriate action.
"The club will not tolerate the misuse of social media or obscene language in any way."
Last month Barnsley fans were accused of singing sickening chants about Sharp's son.
Just days after little Luey died, Sharp scored in a 3-1 defeat by Middlesbrough, poignantly lifting his club shirt to show a T-shirt message 'That's for you, son'.
Hampshire Police said last night they were "aware" of the sick messages.
The Sun launched our Target A Troll campaign last year to nail sickos targeting bereaved families.
Relatives of Maddie McCann, Amy Winehouse and Jade Goody are among those abused.
