WREXHAM’S League One clash away at Charlton was stopped after referee Sam Purkiss suffered a knee injury and had to be replaced.
Yet despite the fitness issue, fans inside The Valley had little sympathy for the official as they sang a brutal chant as he left the field.
Purkiss initially went down in the 11th minute and received treatment on the field of play.
He continued and Conor Coventry’s own goal gave Wrexham a 1-0 lead.
Macaulay Gillesphey levelled for the hosts midway through the first half, before Purkiss went down again.
This time he was unable to carry on and Alan Dale replaced him 10 minutes before half time.
