A left-leaning Jewish media group has closed down with legal threats looming over an image it shared of a well-known Sheffield football fan as part of a parody of far-right nationalists.

Paul Gregory, a Sheffield Wednesday season ticket holder, had been left “fuming” after Jewish Voice published his picture without his consent.

It featured an image of a grimacing, bare-chested football fan, with tattoos and face paint super-imposed. The man was later identified as Mr Gregory.
