The wife of Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Jamie O'Hara has labelled abusive supporters 'disgraceful' after receiving negative comments on social network site Twitter.

O'Hara's other half Danielle was subjected to angry tweets from fans after the midfielder clapped the crowds sarcastically during Wolves' 2-0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion, which dropped the club into League One.

Danielle wrote on Twitter: "Why am I getting abuse from Wolves fans I don't know? Is it me that wears the shirt? My husband gives 100 per cent every time he plays but sadly some fans feel the need to abuse players!

"A true fan to me is someone who is behind the team win or lose so instead of calling my husband a disgrace, look at your own behaviour.

"Maybe if you were giving 100 per cent support the would have done better. Remember you're the 12th player in all this! As I said some fans not all! And the ones threatening me and my family are a disgrace."

Danielle, who is currently pregnant, has two sons with O'Hara.
