Police are appealing for help identifying three men as part of an investigation into reports of racist comments made during a football match between Haringey Borough FC and Yeovil Town.
The FA Cup fourth-qualifying-round tie between Haringey Borough and Yeovil Town was abandoned on October 19th after the home team left the field amid accusations of "disgusting" racism.
Haringey's manager decided to take his players off the pitch on the 64-minute mark following allegations that a number of them were racially abused.
Officers from the Metropolitan Police are leading the investigation with the assistance of Avon and Somerset Police.
Two men - aged 23 and 26 - were arrested in Chard and Yeovil on Monday, 21 October on suspicion of racially aggravated common assault.
They have been released on bail to a date in mid-November.
Following the incident, the Football Association said there is "no room for discrimination in our game" adding that they would work with match officials and authorities to investigate and take the "appropriate steps."
Scotland Yard said anyone who was at the football match or who is able to identify the men pictured is asked to call police on 101 quoting CAD 5272/19 Oct.
