""Words were said," McClean told talkSPORT. "One of them, a tall chap with glasses, made a hostile move towards me... I'm in my workplace and I feel I should never feel threatened in that workplace. "So instead, I wasn't waiting for him to make the first swing, so I did. Four men, one of me. "People need to understand just because we play football doesn't mean people can try and take liberties without their actions having consequences. "That was it. Nothing further happened. And the situation was dealt with.""
""Wrexham AFC are aware of an incident involving a first-team player and a visiting supporter ahead of our match against Cardiff City, which has been reported to the relevant authorities. "We will be making no further comment on the matter at this stage.""
""started running their mouths off""
Wrexham beat Cardiff City 2-1 to reach a quarter-final against Chelsea, meeting for the first time in 21 years. James McClean alleges he was confronted in the players' car park by four Cardiff fans who "started running their mouths off" and says he reacted after a second jibe and a hostile move from a tall man with glasses. McClean says he acted to avoid feeling threatened at his workplace. North Wales Police were contacted but the incident is reportedly not under criminal investigation. Wrexham confirmed awareness, reported the matter to relevant authorities, and declined further comment.
