The homophobic Twitter posts emerged only recently but date back to 2012, when Gray was playing for Hinckley Town.


Gray released a statement when the tweets were made public in which he apologised, said he was "not the guy I was back then" and stressed that he was "absolutely not homophobic".

However, the FA charged Gray nonetheless and he will have to sit out Premier League matches against Watford, Arsenal, Southampton and Everton.

An FA statement read: "It was alleged that six postings on his Twitter account were abusive and/or insulting and/or improper and/or brought the game into disrepute contrary to Rule E3(1).

"It was further alleged that these breaches of Rule E3(1) included a reference to sexual orientation and/or gender and/or colour and/or race contrary to Rule E3(2).

"The player admitted to three of the breaches, and denied the remaining three were in breach of FA Rules.

"Following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing yesterday [22 September 2016], the remaining three breaches were found proven."
